Best of all I kept thinking I knew who the murderer was but I ended up being truly surprised at the turn of events This is s terrific book that anyone will surely enjoy Through Thick and ThinA Cat Leigh and Marci Welles Crime Novel 1 Might have given it 3 stars but it was disjointed and seemed to be 2 separate stories without connection Through Thick and ThinA Cat Leigh and Marci Welles Crime Novel 1
