What do You think about Pick Your Poison (2004)?
There is a saying"when don't know where to start ,always start from the beginning "Since I have a conflicted feelings about this book,I start from the beginning Abby Rose is a millionaire who have nothing but time on her hands ,when her gardener Murdered in her house,she assaulted by guilt ,thinking don't know the basic details about him,so try to hunt down his family, while detective in charge of the case ,trying unsuccessfully to deter her in order to protect her from becoming next victim.About that conflicted feelings ,every story concreted on its characters ,this book has more or less equal people on love or hate side ,for the love side Abby Her sisterSoon to be brother in lawDetectiveOn the hate side Her husbandAunt Lawyer I sincerely considered about putting this book in DNF column,this book has one of the element I hate very much ,heroine falling as prey for lust,even though he is despicable and also ex husband.
