"This story pulls you into the action right away with the attempted murder at the play’s opening night; and draws you deeper in as the clues continue to unfold revealing more danger and espionage in the business world. Jillian, her mother and Sheryl, the victims mother are in the middle of it all – so she has no choice but to aide in the investigation. You could say, lives depend upon it. Never mind that both mothers disappear! They’ve been doing a lot of detective work on their own.

Strands writing is smooth, enticing and involving. She pulls you into the story and even though there are multiple story lines in play, the reader is easily able to follow every one of them to completion. Being able to follow the emotions of characters is extremely important for success as a writer, and Strand does it. I feel a great tension between Detective Sherwood and Jillian and can’t wait for it to explode on a widescale platform. That will keep me coming back through the whole series."

Book Description

Jillian and ex-husband Chad are enjoying a play at a local community theater when a scream interrupts the production upon discovery of a bludgeoned volunteer. When it turns out that the victim is someone Jillian interviewed for a job at her company, she becomes involved in another crime, drawn ever deeper by a second murder, an irate investor, the participation of law enforcement amateurs, an increasingly unreliable assistant, and suspicious stock trading at her company. Meanwhile, Chad is pressuring Jillian to say “yes” to a second marriage.

About Jillian Hillcrest
Jillian Hillcrest is a PR Executive at a small biotechnology company in Silicon Valley who—through no fault of her own—gets drawn into solving murders.

Jillian grew up with her mother in a small town in Pennsylvania, although they moved to California when she was in middle school. Her mother now lives in southern California. Jillian never got to know her father, as he was killed in the Vietnam War. She got married right after graduating from Cal to Chad Bradbury, who is a marketing executive at a biotech company in Alameda, CA. They got divorced after 10 years of marriage, and, quite frankly, are not sure why. They still enjoy getting together. In particular, they enjoy going to restaurants and drinking wine.

As the head of corporate communications, Jillian is responsible for updating investors, employees, the media, partners, and the community about Harmonia and its products. You might wonder about the name of the 200-person company that develops drug products for autoimmune diseases. The founder compared balancing the human immune system with singing in harmony. In Greek mythology, Harmonia is the goddess of harmony and concord.
