The author recreates the scenes with dramatic fashion, adding characters that are so realistic; it feels like you’re living the moment right along with them. She is a wonderful storyteller, paying attention to every intricate detail and leaving you hanging on to every single word. If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, this book will definitely not disappoint! | Reviewer: Marie Haney |
