Rosalind Noonan

Rate this:
"The owner of a dance and martial arts studio, 63 year-old Michelle Chong is a well-liked fixture in the West Hazel community, despite being married to the famous -- and famously temperamental -- artist, Lars Olsen.

But a shocking chain of events, culminating in a brutal murder, makes Alice question if any piece of the past can ever be put to rest ... "--
