A suspenseful tale of a journalist who accepts an assignment to write about a sensational murderess. Walters creates an engaging cast of characters in this winner of the 1994 Edgar Award for best mystery.

Great murder mystery with a dash of legal red tape. I will certainly look for more books by this author, however the last page was unfair to the reader, the crime was solved and she threw in a doubt which did not fit with the final clues. Still a great read.
