Stella Sandell is an average teenager from a well known local family.
However, her life is turned upside down when she stands accused of the
brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. Everyone wants
to know how Stella knows the man and what her motive for the murder.
Stella's
father is a pastor and her mother is a criminal defense attorney. They
both are considered pillars of truth, honesty, and integrity
in the community. When news of Stella's arrest arrive, they find their
morals to be tested as they defend their daughter. How far will they go
to protect their daughter? What secrets is Stella hiding?
The
novel was narrated by three different narrators: her father, Stella,
and her mother. It was interesting to see how all three characters
overlapped for a satisfying ending. While the book was an engrossing read, I had a hard
time rooting for Stella. Stella does a lot of things because she is
bored and nothing happens to her. However, when her plans go awry, she
puts the blame on other people instead of blaming herself. Personally, I
didn't care for her as a person
as when people were trying to help her, she kept pushing them away.
Overall, the book as an entertaining read and I look forward to reading
more books from the author.
