review 1: This was a real page turner and I couldn't put it down, but unfortunately the ending was very silly. This is the first book by this author, and although I think it shows promise, its a bit like she had to throw in too much action (and too many cliches of a murder mystery) to get the reader's attention. I also found the lead character, Sarah Finch, a bit annoying and especially her actions in the end were pretty unbelievable.
review 2: Sarah Finch is a teacher at a private school in England. One of her students goes missing but it is Sarah who finds her body. Sarah has her own secrets, when she was a little girl, her brother disappeared although his body was never found. Her parents, unable to cope with that tragedy, divorced. Her mother became an alcoholic and ... morealthough Sarah initially went away, she returned home to live with her mother. As the investigation evolves, Sarah becomes a suspect and it seems the girl's murder might have something to do with Sarah's past after all. Quite enjoyed this book and will look for other books by this author. less
