Book Review: Once Wicked Always Dead

Summary from GoodReads: What happens when a family's darkest secrets put lives in jeopardy? How far would you go for love?
Molly Madison is unaware of the Sociopath who is on the loose, creating havoc with a sense of their own justice. Her life is shattered by the sudden death of her beloved parents and the revelation of her husband Phillip's affair - with another man - Molly leaves the life of Country Clubs and the luxury of city life in Florida and heads west to Montana, resolved to run the family ranch, and to move on with her life. Her attraction to Clayton Leatherbe, the ranch foreman, is instant, but before a romance can blossom, the ranch falls prey to sabotage by wealthy land developers determined to drive Molly out, and Clayton learns of a family secret and collides with the Sociopath that could put the ranch - and Molly's life - in jeopardy.
A sharp mystery that swirls with family secrets, betrayal, love and loss, Once Wicked Always Dead is a strong debut from an author with literary blood in her veins.


My Review: My first note on this book is there is a lot of cussing and a lot of detailed sex. I'm not offended by it, but I know some may be. 


There are great twists and turns in this book that will keep you turning the pages. The only thing I really wanted was more detail. Give me background and more character development. 


Anyway, the last minute twist in the book will catch you totally unaware, which is GREAT for me. I love being surprised just when I think I have it all sorted out. 


So, hang out with 45 year old Molly Madison for a Saturday night. You won't regret it.
