    This is my first time doing a review, so pardon if it doesn't seem sophisticated, but I absolutely couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. I was absolutely captivated to find out who did it after learning about the intense crime scene. In regard to the 'who did it' I didn't see it coming, but as it unfolded it was riveting. I am a John Grisham fan and this book is right up there when it comes to keeping one so gripped to the storyline that you can't put the book down.

    The author is very descriptive and does a nice job of painting the picture in your mind. By the time I got to the crime scene I was hooked and couldn’t help but come back for more. The characters almost seemed to come to life and there were several instances when I became upset with them due to their actions or thoughts but in the end they didn’t disappoint me. The twist at the end was unexpected so beware. It was worth the read.
