Publisher's summary

Three strangers find their lives intertwined when a murder investigation shocks the town of Lake Henry. Heather Malone is known in town for her kind, gentle nature; so when the FBI takes her into custody, purportedly for murder, the local reaction is stunned disbelief. Poppy Blake, riddled with guilt over the accident that claimed the life of her male companion and left her crippled, is struggling to rebuild her life. Writer Griffin Hughes originally traveled to Lake Henry to investigate a national news story involving Lily Blake, Poppy's older sister. It is his chance comment to his brother, an FBI agent, that leads the law to Heather. To redeem himself, Griffin is compelled to solve the mystery of Heather's past.

An Accidental Woman celebrates the values of community, friendship, and the redemptive power of love.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Jennifer Wiltsie portrays police with authority and several minor characters with charming New England accents. Wiltsie accomplishes character portrayal with seamless gender changes. Well-done, emotion-laden scenes of fear and suspected betrayal make this a gripping story for a long commute." (AudioFile)

Enjoyed the book

The audio version of the story is abridged from the written version. I was a little disappointed. The written book had more detail to convey a thought or a scene.
I enjoyed listening to this book, but would have like it to be the full version of the written work.
