And although Alafair Burke's newest novel, "The Ex" is about an ex-fiancé, I think that rule can apply to ex-friends, ex-co-workers, ex-neighbors and the like.
It's no secret that I'm just a tad bit partial to her novels.
So, I had high hopes for "The Ex" and the author did not disappoint.
Honestly, every time I thought I'd "figured it out," I was wrong.
I hope that this is the beginning of many more to come with criminal defense attorney "Olivia Randall." I really, really like her.
"Widower Jack Harris has resisted the dating scene ever since the shooting of his wife Molly by a fifteen-year-old boy three years ago. An early morning run along the Hudson River changes that when he spots a woman in last night’s party dress, barefoot, enjoying a champagne picnic alone, reading his favorite novel. Everything about her reminds him of what he used to have with Molly. Eager to help Jack find love again, his best friend posts a message on a popular website after he mentions the encounter. Days later, that same beautiful stranger responds and invites Jack to meet her in person at the waterfront. That’s when Jack’s world falls apart.
Olivia Randall is one of New York City’s best criminal defense lawyers. When she hears that her former fiancé, Jack Harris, has been arrested for a triple homicide—and that one of the victims was connected to his wife’s murder—there is no doubt in her mind as to his innocence. The only question is who would go to such great lengths to frame him—and why?" ("The Ex" by Alafair Burke)
