“Confounded kittens,” she grumbled. “What?” “Your eyes literally lit up. I’ve only read about that in books. I’ve never seen it happen.” “They did not,” he protested, but they probably had.

In the words of June Diane Raphael, I do love a thriller. I found this book at my local thrift store after seeing posted on Book of the Month Club’s Instagram a few months ago.
