(Pelican Harbor #3)
"A shocking murder.
"Chief of Police Jane Hardy plunges into the investigation of a tragic local murder, but everything in her personal life is unraveling.
"Her son’s arrest.
"Jane’s son is accused of manslaughter, and she has to decide whether or not she can trust her ex, Reid, in the attempt to prove Will’s innocence—and whether she’s going to trust Reid with her heart.
"Three missing days.
"With the recent discovery of her mother’s whereabouts, Jane learns not only that her mother stole something vital all those years ago but that she drugged Jane so she wouldn’t be able to remember. What happened in those three days could change everything.
"It all started with one little lie. But the truth is finally coming out." --from the publisher
I've read several Coble novels, so I know what to expect, but this one was especially disappointing for me. There are some problems with the story that the editor should have caught. a major problem with the plot (Clear evidence of the perpetrator of "an old murder" isn't reported...by the chief of police?), and the characters act in many ways that are inconsistent with their roles. I give it 2.5 stars out of 5.
