A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast-and died young but her final scam embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund-is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. The tainted money is stashed away in an offshore account for Leonora. And while she wants nothing to do with the cash, she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box: a book about Mirror House-the place where Meredith had engineered her final deception and a set of newspaper stories about an unsolved murder that occurred there thirty years ago.
Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker, another victim of Meredith’s scams and seductions. She’ll hand over the money-if he helps her figure out what’s going on. Meredith had described Thomas as “a man you can trust.” But in a funhouse-mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league . . .
“Sparks fly between a sexually repressed college librarian and a handyman venture capitalist while they attempt to hunt down a killer who possesses the ability to make murder look like suicide in this tepid romantic thriller from veteran author Krentz… While investigating the connection between Meredith’s death and two other suspicious deaths, Leonora romances Thomas—with the help of her matchmaking grandmother and a disgruntled advice columnist—and pairs his brother Deke with his sexy yoga instructor. A few half-hearted attempts on Thomas’s life, orchestrated by a fraudulent stress therapist, add some zing to this one-dimensional read, but events spiral too quickly toward an unexpected and unbelievable conclusion, but this awkward pairing of dark melodrama and frothy romance fails to impress.” —Publishers Weekly
Far from her best book…..
