Loose Ends

The past lives of two London strangers converge in this "addictive, ironic and darkly suspenseful combination of mystery and romance" ( Kirkus Reviews).   It's been ten years since Kate Fullerton survived a suspicious car accident in Ecuador that took the lives of her father, stepmother, and younger sister. Haunted by the tragedy, and with her inheritance lost to a con artist husband, Kate's been adrift ever since. She only begins to feel on solid ground again when she secures a job at a travel agency and agrees to share a comfortable apartment with her accommodating new boss. If only she could shake the feeling that she's being followed.   Then, a decomposed body is found floating in a nearby canal. And a handsome amateur detective solicits her help in booking passage for a vacation getaway—in South America. Kate may have thought she was pulling her life together. Instead, it's her past that's slowly coming into focus. For Kate, that's a very dangerous thing.   Loose Ends "is Moody at her best. An outstanding psychological thriller" about the secrets that bind us, and those that can kill ( Booklist).
