Alexia
Allen is on enforced leave from her firefighter job in Washington when she
receives a phone call from a high school friend inviting her to their tenth
reunion. Impulsively, she decides to return to the town she fled on the day
after graduation ten years ago.
Her
homecoming starts off with an almost-literal bang when she discovers a murdered
classmate in her mother’s basement. And the action is just beginning. As Alexia
battles secrets from her past, she finds she’s become a target.
The
detective assigned to investigate the murder makes her heart flutter when she
recognizes him as someone she had a crush on when she was in school. But by his
reaction to her, she knows he suspects her of the crime.
When the Smoke Clears is filled with
plot twists. I couldn’t stop myself from reading on (and on) when I should have
been sleeping. If you enjoy mystery/suspense with a touch of romance, you’ll
love When the Smoke Clears.
