Author: Once You Go This Far (Roxane Weary #4)
Stars: 4
Review:
I would recommend you do not start with book 4.
Roxane is perfectly flaws characters that readers will be able to fall in love with her. Readers will be there as she struggles though life, understanding and the fear she fells.
The story will take readers into a world that takes you hand as you work with Roxane as she struggles to under what happened to a woman she barely met.
The story has a wonderful flow and characters who come to life and bring readers into their world wanting more as the story comes to an end.
This reader will go back and read the first of the Roxeane Weary Series.

Synopsis:
Junior-high school nurse Rebecca Newsome was an experienced hiker, until she plummeted to her death to the bottom of a ravine in a Columbus metro park. Her daughter, Maggie, doesn't believe it was an accident, and Rebecca's ex-husband is her prime suspect. But he's a well-connected ex-cop and Maggie is certain that's the reason no one will listen to her. Roxane quickly uncovers that the dead woman's ex is definitely a jerk, but is he a murderer?
As she pieces together the days before Rebecca died, Roxane finds a series of trips to Detroit and across the border into Windsor, Canada, major withdrawals from her checking account, and more contacts with a casino manager than a middle-aged school nurse from Toledo should reasonably have.
When the investigation leads to Leila Hassan, the cunning con artist who got away in What You Want to See, Roxane is determined not to make the same mistake twice by falling for Leila's lies--except she might actually be telling the truth this time. Roxane needs to figure out the connection between Leila, a secretive church group, a women's health organization, and Rebecca's fall in the woods...before a dangerous secret gets someone else killed.
