Disappointing. I got lured I'm by the description of the unsolved case being reopened. The book isn't about that at all. Mainly it's about a week or so of Mary Byrd's life from when she hears the case of her step-brother's murder is being reopened to a few days after she meets the detective. It's also a story about some of the other people in her life, but they seem somewhat random selections. Probably a good read if you like reading about "life in general," specifically someone else's life, but not what I was looking for.
