Ratings and reviews

I picked this book up at my local riteaid on a whim and boy was I pleased. I loved it! The characters are well developed and the sorry is fabulous! It kept me guessing right up to the shocking end. I couldn't put out down. Can't wait for Alison Gatlin's next book!

I'm no usually one for mysteries, but this book has me hooked. Hope her next one (sequel to this) is out!

The book was interesting and keep me entertained. The characters were developed and I look forward to meeting up with them in the next book.
