ON ASHER LANE, SOME SECRETS ARE WORTH KILLING FOR…
Simone’s mother was murdered when she was thirteen. When her father was convicted, everything changed. Overnight, Simone went from living in a wealthy white neighborhood to scraping by.
Ten years later, Simone has given up on her dreams and lives a quiet life, writing book reviews and getting serious with her boyfriend. But with a true crime documentarian hounding her for a scoop and a surprise encounter with her childhood next-door neighbor, Hunter, the past seems set on haunting her. And after Hunter reveals that his father and her mother had a years-long affair, Simone is determined to find out who really killed her mother.
Simone is convinced that all evidence points to Hunter’s father, a renowned judge who had everything to lose if his affair—and his nascent love child—came to light. Playing the game from all sides, Simone enlists Hunter’s help in her investigation into his family—whether he realizes it or not. But is she so desperate for closure that she’ll risk imploding her carefully rebuilt life?
Review
Simone’s mother was murdered when she was just a teenager. And Simone’s dad was convicted of the murder. Now, ten years later and Simone discovers that her mother had an affair with a renowned judge and was pregnant at the time of her death. Simone will move heaven and earth to find out who really killed her mother, even if it means losing everything.
This book was a bit slow for me. And I believe it is because this book could not make up its mind what it wanted to be. It is all over the place. It just felt disjointed and very contrived. I did like Simone, or rather she tugged at my sympathies. Simone is the reason I did not dnf. She is a strong young lady with a powerful motivation.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
