It's the first book I have read by J.A. Jance. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to start on another one right a way. So many to choose from, I love it when I find a new author!
The story was hard to put down

I wonder if, in reality, an actual person could endure that much tragedy and remain strong. But I would like to wish it possible.

Loved this book and the new Jance character. I've been a JP Beaumont fan for years and I really admire how Jance can create two such completely different characters. I'll look for the next one.

A quick read, two days for me. Interesting plot with lots of sideline intrigue. A middle aged woman tires to find her identity after losing her job and facing an unhappy marriage. Well done, another book I would reccommend by this author.
Middle of the road kind of book

It's well written and action packed, but the storyline is pretty far fetched. Overall, just an average suspense thriller.
