Land's End

One year after her husband Mile's mysterious death on the island of St James--in what seemed to be a lover's tryst with the wife of wealthy industrialist, Trent Donner--Dr. Sarah Wainwright returns to the island to find answers, knowing those answers may bring her pain. Trent Donner, however, doesn't want Sarah asking questions and bringing up painful memories he has tried hard to keep buried. And he doesn't want his daughter Melissa hurt any more than she already has been. So he does everything in his very far reaching power to prevent Sarah from staying. But when Sarah's life is threatened, Trent soon comes to realize that she may be right. Someone is trying to desperately hide what really happened that night in the cabin. And he also begins to see that, while the truth may be painful, knowing it is the only way to bring true healing from the past for himself, Melissa, and Sarah. This was an excellent read! The characters were well written and the plot threads numerous enough to keep me guessing until the very end. My only disappointment was in the last couple pages where I felt Trent and Sarah's relationship was wrapped up a little too abruptly. However, in the big picture, this was a very small disappointment. I look forward to reading future suspense titles by Marta Perry.
