I was just a little girl, fast asleep in my stroller, the day my mother was killed. I don’t remember anything about the sunny day that turned so dark. She’d be so happy for me now, 20 years later, with my dream job as a photographer, and I’m sure she’d love my new boyfriend, Gabriel. But all my happiness vanishes in a heartbeat when the man from our past walks toward me, his eyes on me for just a fraction too long.

Two wrongs don't make a right
It's an interesting theme well executed in this second book. Loving the Journey with these two crime busting ladies. As usual I've come back to listen a second time to this book and it made me think about how we can set out on a path and just keep making things worse ....not that even one murder could ever ne made right and in this story was it ever fitting whether for mistaken reasons or otherwise
