Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | MIRA for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Jacquelyn Mitchard. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars!
Felicity Wild and Reenie Bigelow were childhood best friends, although they grew apart as they got older. But when Felicity is on trial for a double murder, Reenie knows she didn't do it. A journalist for a woman's magazine, she convinces her boss to let her investigate for a story she will write on the case - a brilliant grad student turned high-priced escort, now charged with murder.
This is a slow-burn mystery, with an emphasis on female friendship. I really liked how each chapter begins with a description of a unique and fascinating bird and their behavior, symbolically relating it to the story. As with all Mitchard novels, the story rich in character development and those relationships are more important than the mystery of exactly how the two men died. Felicity stays silent through her defense, highlighting the mystery, but it's the characters you will be invested in. Beautiful writing.
