Little Deaths 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Expected Publication January 17 2017 by Hachette Books

The story is a heartbreaking one. A single mother of two wakes up to find her kids are gone and no clue what happened to them, that is until both turn up dead at different times. Ruth has had so many men in her life and has been drinking so much, it's possible she can't think clearly and can't trust anyone. She is thought guilty based on her attractive appearance, her aloofness to other housewives, her occupation as a cocktail waitress, her reputation for bringing men home. Poor example of a mother maybe but didn't she love those kids with all her being?
One of the men interested in her is a rookie newspaper reporter who can't let the story go until he finds that one incredible clue that will help prove Ruth's innocence. He uncovers police shenanigans and a possible ex-boyfriend who could have done it. He will do anything to help her. The book starts with Ruth in prison, so how's that going to come about?
This was just a bit of a slow starter for me but gets pretty intense during the investigation and trial. Then there's a Holy Sh!* ending I for one did not see coming. An excellent debut. I was given an ARC copy by a friend.
