Well drawn characters, razor sharp dialogue and truly stunning twists and turns kept me turning pages faster than I really wanted to, wishing to savor every nuance of this engrossing novel. Then, at the very brink of the family’s demise, someone thought lost to them forever returns to the fold. Meanwhile, the family’s financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.Įverything has consequences everybody has secrets. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle-as well as with his former horse trainer’s daughter. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. No one is above suspicion-especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murder… And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high society-just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. Ward delivers the second novel in her Bourbon Kings series-a sweeping saga of a Southern dynasty struggling to maintain a façade of privilege and prosperity, while secrets and indiscretions threaten its very foundation…
