Some killers are born. Others are made.
As a rookie tabloid reporter, Jenna Sinclair made a tragic mistake when she outed Denny Dennison, the illegitimate son of an executed serial killer. So she hid behind her marriage and motherhood. Now, decades later, betrayed by her husband and resented by her teenage daughter, Jenna decides to resurrect her career—and returns to the city she loves.
When her former lover is brutally assaulted outside Jenna’s NYC apartment building, Jenna suspects that Denny has inherited his father’s psychopath gene and is out for revenge. She knows she must track him down before he can harm his next target, her daughter.
Meanwhile, her estranged husband, Zack, fears that her investigative reporting skills will unearth his own devastating secret he’d kept buried in the past.
From New York City to the remote North Fork of Long Island and the murky waters surrounding it, Jenna rushes to uncover the terrible truth about a psychopath and realizes her own investigation may save or destroy her family.

I rated this book 5 *****'s
I didn't see that coming
Fool Her Once is the very first book that I read by the author Ms. Joanna Elm. I didn't see that coming. This book fooled me in a perfect way. The author did an amazing job with the story.
Jenna is my favorite character in this beautiful story. Being a reporter, her beautiful instincts of her helped her solve the crime and also her and Dollie's life. The book glued me from the first chapter until the very last chapter. What a perfect title for the mystery book. It even fooled me.
I am looking forward to reading more beautiful stories from the author. I become a new fan of hers. This book is hard to put down from the very first page until the end. An evil person will change but not forever. He had met his enemy and finally ended his wrongdoings.
