Before We Were Strangers by author Brenda Novak does not disappoint the reader! I enjoy Brenda Novak's books and was excited to have the opportunity to read and review this newest one which is scheduled to be released later this year.
Sloane McBride is a very beautiful and successful model who is grieving the loss of her very best friend and mentor. Clyde helped Sloane reach the heights of success as a new model after she ran away from Texas right after her graduation. Sloane has decided to take some time off and go back to Texas and try to find answers to what could have happened to her mother more than 20 years ago.
The mystery begins as we find out more about the bitterness Sloane feels for her father. She has always thought her father or his actions were the reason her mother was never seen again after a fight one night when Sloane was only five years old. Sloane has memories, nightmares, and anxiety concerning her mother who went missing and was never heard from again. Sloane's brother Randy wants Sloane to drop her accusations of their father who gave them a home and very good life after their mother ran away to be with her lover. Now there is a lot of tension between Sloan and her brother and Sloane receives veiled threats from her father who wants her to leave and not stir up trouble before his reelection year.
This is a very good mystery and it gets more suspenseful toward the ending. As Sloane is interviewing people about their memories of her mother, Sloane needs the help of a very special person who she hurt when she left Texas ten years ago, Micah. Oh my, the romance which she had hoped was in the past ignites and this causes more problems for Sloan. Mystery, Romance, Suspense, And Murder!
