Review: Fatal Fortune - Book #1 Dr. Pippa Durant - Miranda Rijks - May 2019 This week, I had trouble with reading romances and felt in a thriller mood. Fatal Fortune was a book set in the UK where Leanne Smith has just won the big lottery. Her family is overjoyed, that is until she is found murdered with a photo lying on her body. The police post the photo thinking it is of Leanne but it is another local woman named Pippa Durant. Pippa is a psychiatrist and has started to lose business and her reputation because of this mistake. As the book goes along, Pippa is determined to find out what the connection is between Leanne and herself, but no one seems to be helping. Meanwhile, Leanne's daughter Donna is grieving her mother's death and her father Kevin has been arrested, but Donna knows he is innocent. I have to say I wasn't keen on the character Ricky and wondered if he had something to do with the death but the book takes on a different angle which left me going OMG and be...
