Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer for gifting me both a physical and digital ARC of the latest thriller by Wendy Walker. All opinions expressed in this review are my own!
Ana Robbins was a rising star in the ice skating world and, with issues at home, her family dropped her off at the renowned Palace in Colorado, an elite training facility. Tragedy forced her to leave all that behind. Now 14 years later, she's a successful defense attorney working with minors. She's called back to The Palace to help defend a young skater accused of a brutal crime. She claims she's innocent, but all the evidence points towards only her. Ana's investigation brings up all the childhood memories she's tried so hard to push down.
As stated in her author's note, Wendy Walker was a childhood skating star, poised to make it big, when she decided to take her life in a different direction. Her first-hand knowledge and experience shine through every page of this book. It also feels very relevant with stories such as this in the news all too frequently. Told in "Now" and "Then" timelines, we get a front row seat to all the trauma these young women faced, most without family guidance, and relying on those in charge to steer them in the right direction. I was fascinated with the peek into the skating world, and the mystery was tense and suspenseful. Wendy Walker has penned another great thriller!
