Interesting twists

This is a story of Sarah Tanner, a woman who opens a dining and coffee rooms on the corner of Leather Lane. There is some wonder as to where she came from but she has a fine coffee house with good food, so not much is asked. Too many questions might scare her away and after all, if she's willing to work here she obviously has secrets to keep. It isn't until an old friend is killed in front of her that she is forced out of her comfortable existence. She's forced to investigate because the person she sees murdering is a police man and in her past she was known to police. Told mostly from the viewpoint of Sarah herself it's an interesting story with a lot of twists and turns, even at the end when you think that everything has been sorted out and that the story is heading for it's conclusion. Like real life things aren't always as they seem and your assumptions are put on their head. I enjoyed this story, enough to want to look up more by this author.
