- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Synopsis: Sociopathic killer Cleo Smith has just murdered a graphic artist, Richard Fletcher, who was a member of a large, bizarre California family, but Smith's motive for the killing remains obscure. Five years later, Fletcher's adopted son has been wrongfully convicted of the crime, and Burke's resourceful and compassionate reporter heroine, Irene Kelly, has written a story about missing children that has prompted a host of inquiries from desperate relatives who have lost their own children. When more bodies turn up and further clues point to involvement of Fletcher family members, Kelly, aided by her police detective husband, Frank Harriman, puts her life on the line to exonerate the innocent prisoner and uncover the disturbing secrets at the heart of the Fletcher clan.Review: The plot is very interesting, with lots of twists and turns. The ending falls a bit flat.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After reading many of Jan Burke's books I've come to realize that they are very similar in theme and plot. Although they are good books, they are somewhat predictable and could be boring. This book was easy to read and I finished it in 4 days.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In the most recent Irene Kelly novel, Burke once again pulls together the characters from previous books and brings them along for the bumpy ride through Las Piernas' most recent murder mystery. Strangely absent from the last couple of books is Pete, Frank's partner and best bud, and Burke is remiss in not explaining the popular character's continued absence. In this outing, a family that started out as a haven for foster and homeless kids has morphed into something much more menacing. Irene uncovers their plan to create the 'best' family members and discovers the extreme lengths they will go to to accomplish their goals. There are some loose ends that don't quite tie up as nicely as in past Kelly novels, but this is still an enjoyable read and a decent installment in the Kelly series.
