As for Bobbie, she’s forced to decide just how much she can trust this stranger who knows so much about her. And both of them are about to learn whether or not two broken people can save each other.
Ope’s Opinion: I think for most mystery readers this may be a 4 or 5 chair. I am more of a who-done-it reader, so this had a bit more graphic details of what happened at the murder scene to the victims then I prefer. The intensity was there through the whole book, the story felt realistic and the characters were ones you really cared about.
The beginning was a little hard to understand – I felt like I walked into a part two of a series, but this was part one -( I should have read the prequel ). From page one the relationships were already developed and it was written as if I already knew the relationships between people. After a couple of chapters I understood who was who.
Although this is a series, I felt it ended well and wrapped things up for this book. Some of the relationships were left open, but I felt satisfied with the ending.
