About this ebook

After losing her mother in a freak accident, Suede Harris is trying to pick up the pieces and move

on with her life. With a history of trouble, including bad relationships, alcohol, and ditching 

college, finishing up her criminology degree seemed like the best way to start.

While catching up back home with summer courses, she joins a study group to keep on track, but

when her friends convince her to go geocaching, a simple trip will shake things up. When the 

only treasure they find is a human bone, it will send her on a mission fueled by personal trauma 

to figure out what happened to the victim. 

Will she find the killer, or uncover secrets that have been long buried?

Ratings and reviews

I am a geocacher. I really loved the plot and the characters. My only complaint is about the geocaching references. There is NO "Level 5" ~ only a DIFFICULTY (how hard it is to find out how difficult the puzzle) 5 or a TERRAIN 5. Both are listed on the cache page. Also, the containers are almost always called caches. After finding 16,800 of them, I've never seen the word "Capsule" to describe the container. I realize that this is petty, but when it's in the title of the book, I feel accuracy is a good thing. That said, I definitely will read the entire series because the writing deserves it.

The scene is set. Another twister by the WL Knightly team. This starts a mystery that will take 6 books to cover—all ending on a cliffhanger and all laying out clues for you to spot. I expect it will be like their other series—once you’re sure you know what’s going on—there will be a twist you don’t see coming. Edge of your seat excitement, tons of things going on that don’t seem related. We’re in for another adventure. Eagerly awaiting book 2. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

While the storyline in this book is good, I found myself wondering if it had been written by a teenager who was failing in english class. I've never read a book with such poor grammer in all of my 62 years. This will be a first for me to say, but it is a story so badly written that I can actually not care about how it ends. I'm putting this one down.
