When Tessa Seidel delivers costumes to a Manhattan television studio late at night, she expects an empty set—not a murder scene. After stumbling upon a woman’s body and nearly being attacked by a man fleeing the scene, Tessa escapes with no idea who to trust—and a fear that the killer knows who she is.
Desperate, she runs to a friend’s beach house in the Hamptons, where Broadway playwright Parker Sawyer is retreating to finish his next script. But he knows danger when he sees it and offers to shelter Tessa, even when they find out she is being accused of committing the murder.
Back in Manhattan, CIA operatives Kimber Seidel and Brandon Hale realize Tessa is being framed. But with a powerful suspect manipulating the investigation, clearing Tessa’s name won’t be easy.
If they can’t unravel the truth in time, Tessa won’t just be the prime suspect—she’ll be the next victim.
Tessa Seidel finds herself unwittingly entangled in a murder and doing everything she can to have the people she trusts clear her of any suspicions and being charged. I love how there are so many people willing to investigate and find the murderer when Tessa can’t do anything herself. It was pure genius how Parker uses his play writing skills to communicate with his uncle and Tessa’s sister while they are in seclusion. The attraction and developing romance between Parker and Tessa helped move the story along and provided a dynamic to the case.
If you enjoy romantic suspense and figuring out mysteries, this is a book for you.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher though NetGalley. A positive review was not required.
