As expected, it was fun reading about and being familiar with various places in the story. Details all seemed to be fairly accurate &#8211; nothing stood out to me as mistaken. I especially liked how a character referred to the University of Memphis as Memphis State, something many locals of the older generation tend to do. Old habits die hard you know!<\/p>\n<p>The story itself was an interesting one with a strong plot and characters. It was easy to understand Andi&#8217;s reluctance to believe that the man convicted of killing her sister was innocent. I could also sympathize with her mixed emotions about the case and had to admire her desire to learn the truth despite her personal feelings. I also enjoyed the interaction between Andi and Will as they fought their feelings for each other while working together to find answers before it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>The plot moved along at a steady rate with a few twists and surprises along the way. The investigation details were interesting and believable and I thought the level of suspense was perfect. I look forward to the rest of the Memphis Cold Case series for another look at our city through Patricia Bradley&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that was provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

The convicted killer sits behind bars, his execution date looming. But when a letter surfaces stating that the condemned didn&#8217;t do the crime, Detective Will Kincaide of the Memphis Cold Case Unit will stop at nothing to help Andi get to the bottom of it. After all, this case is personal: the man who confessed to the crime is Will&#8217;s cousin. Andi and Will must find the real killer before the wrong person is executed. But what can happen in only a week? Uncovering police corruption, running for your life, and, perhaps, falling in love?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-21634\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Bradley_Patricia5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Bradley_Patricia5.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Bradley_Patricia5-99x150.jpg 99w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Bradley_Patricia5-150x228.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/>Patricia Bradley<\/b> is the author of <i>Shadows of the Past<\/i>, <i>A Promise to Protect<\/i>, <i>Gone without a Trace<\/i>, and <i>Silence in the Dark<\/i>.
