Jessica Huntington is back in her second mystery by USA Today bestselling author, Anna Celeste Burke.A cold case heats up when the handsome detective, Frank Fontana, asks for Jessica Huntington's help. Who killed his cousin Kelly? Does Jessica want to know the truth about her high school friend's tragic death? The worst kind of truth is better than the best lie, Jessica. Jessica hopes Bernadette's right as she races headlong into Kelly's troubled past. Believed to be the victim of a hit-and-run accident in Palm Springs, the investigation into Kelly's death had quickly grown cold. Now more than a decade later, a lowlife meth addict claims to have witnessed her death and swears: It weren't no accident! It was on purpose. Why would anyone have done such a thing to the 19-year-old, auburn-haired beauty with a voice like an angel and a streak of wild? Join Jessica and her friends as they try to figure out whodunit and why! AN ENTHUSIASTIC SIX STARS! I read the first book in the series, A Dead Husband, and have been eagerly looking forward to reading this one. It didn't disappoint in any area. One of the things that Ms. Burke is a genius at is attention to detail. It doesn't matter whether it's a setting or a person, you can clearly see it in your mind, smell it, or taste it - and her food descriptions are to die for! But make no mistake, the story line and the characters are just as captivating. I felt like I had reconnected with old friends, and I look forward to reading A Dead Daughter. For my money, she is one of the most talented authors writing today. I simply love her work and would give it six stars if I could!GREAT SERIES! TOP 500 REVIEWER A Dead Sister by Anna Burke is an excellent follow up to her Dead Husband. Jessica Huntington has a lot on her plate, especially after her last adventure. In this novel she looks into the death of one of her friends who dies in a mysterious accident 14 years ago.The book balances her private issues, such as the broken down marriage, and her intimate connection to the victim well, making for a very personal and heart felt investigation, which lends the story more gravity and power.Jessica is a great lead character with strong emotions, thoughtful and clever whose circumstances show that money and looks still won't necessarily buy you happiness. But she has good people around her and she won't quit until she finds out the truth.The detective part is well written and at times very compelling. A must for fans of detective novels with interesting settings and fascinating characters. Very recommendable.
