- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not bad for a suspense-mystery, but I've read better.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book nearly straight through, so it definitely kept my attention. The ending was not a complete surprise...there were really only a couple of possibilities, and the juggling of the timing of events in the story was a bit unwieldy. Still, she gave a good feel for the characters and the places in the stories. I was intrigued by her way of telling the story more than the actual events themselves. Great as a beach book or a book to take on a trip.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A disappointment - after reading several of Caldwell's other books and loving them, this one fell flat. It good have done with better editing (a lot of typos, mistakes in continuity, that sort of thing) and the story was weak at best. I was bummed.
