THE WINNER’S CIRCLE by Gail Bowen
The law partners at Falconer Shreve Altieri Wainberg and Hynd along with their families knew how fortunate they were as they gathered together to celebrate Thanksgiving at Lawyers’ Bay. The lakeshore property where they each owned a cottage, provided them with a much-needed escape from the stress of their jobs. Little did they know as the gathered around the table for their Thanksgiving feast, that their lives would be torn apart by an unbelievable tragedy in just a few short weeks.
Bowen provides a comprehensive review of the years leading up to the events that take place in this, her seventeenth novel in the Joanne Kilbourn series. In doing so, she shows how the most innocuous of events can grow toxic over the years.
I welcomed this review as it refreshed my memory of the many challenges that each of the characters in this series had faced over the years. This background information gives us perspective into the motivations of the characters and acts as a driving force in the novel.
This was a very satisfying read and I think that Bowen has written one of her best with The Winner’s Circle. She’s certainly set the bar high for herself for the next book in the series.
