Ratings and reviews

This was a great book! I found myself reading day & night just to find out if Cindy was dead or alive. His books should be automatically adapted to movie form! They're THAT GOOD!

ugh. Another Patterson clunker. Just as it was getting good it ended. And quite abruptly. Good thing this was a short read.

Just another Women's Murder group book, but this one was intense. I enjoyed it.
