"How different their lives looked today."

A fast paced and engrossing read.

This story took me for a ride! I felt myself sympathizing with Taryn, then judging her choices, finally having to stop and think about the reasons behind the actions. While her actions were egregious, the tying in of women in classic literature with modern day love struggles was beautifully executed.

It was wonderful reading about a strong, and time tested, lead cop; but Frankie seemed too worried about her weight and too untrusting of her grown daughters for the majority of the book. I felt these insecurities took away from her as a character forcing the spot light onto the others. Frankie was my least favorite character and seemed to slow the story down.

The story had my full attention from start to finish. I absolutely love Gerritsen's writing style and the way the story weaved through itself was enjoyable. I found myself genuinely surprised by the outcome, only figuring out the true perpetrator at the same time as Maggie.

Definitely glad I picked this one up!
