No matter what Frankie does, she keeps running into brick walls. Now someone is out to get her. Can Frankie figure out what is going on in Stillwater? Will she find the time of death?
I loved TIME OF DEATH by Lucy Kerr. It had so many unanswered questions but by the end everything is tied up in a nice bow. Lucy Kerr also shows how family really is the most important thing in life. I fell in love with all of the characters in this story. I have a feeling there are going to be more mystery and suspense books by Lucy Kerr. I can't wait. If you want a fast read, one that you really can sink your teeth into, this is the book for you.
