"So this mystery is nearly as old as I am, copyrighted 1985. I'd almost never have known because it's not really dated at all. It's a really good mystery and in the end the crazed rapist murderer was totally not who I thought it was! yikes. It's a fast read too, a few hours tops."

    " I finished the book because I wanted to know who did it, but I can't recommend it. I'll stick with her Sookie Stackhouse books. "

    " My least favorite book in the Harris catalog, but I chalk it up to being on of her earlier books. I tend to enjoy her series where characters can grow over a number of books. "

    " A good premise that didn't really rise above average for me. I felt like I was more told how to feel about characters and how they behaved rather than the emotions arising from good characterisation and world building but the story zipped along and it passed a couple of hours pleasantly enough. "

    " I had a really hard time with the focus of the book being rape. I had to put it down a few times, though I did finish and was fine with the ending. "

    " Not to Charlaine Harris's usual standard. But still enjoyable. Let's face it I would read anything she has written. She is so good I would be interested in reading her shopping list! "

    " One of her early novels. Takes a while to get into the story and it's a little rough around the edges. Doesn't flow as smoothly as her later novels. Didn't care for the character so much--not very interesting. "

    " Reading this novel is almost exactly the same as watching a dyed-in-the-wool Lifetime Movie. But it's a brisk, mindless beach read, in a good kind of way. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I didn't get into this book until after the rape. Some interesting thoughts about how women handle it and how people react to it. Not one of her best books. An earlier book, I think. "

    " I love most of Ms. Harris' books. Unfortunately, this book wasn't up to her usual standards. I didn't really like the main character and so I wasn't vested in what happened to her...:( "

    " Rape is generally dealt with in a serious, depressing manner, but Harris writes a light mystery novel that is engaging while exploring the serious consequences of rape on different individuals. It's a very insightful book! "

    " Entertaining and suspenseful. It kept my attention throughout the entire story. I think the author also did a good job of capturing the thoughts and feelings of the victim. It made you identify with them. "

    " This book was pretty intense, just based on the subject matter. It was a good little mystery though. It kind of reminded me of the Aurora books. I thought it was a great read and it was just under 200 pages. "

    " This is a standalone novel by a wonderful author. It's a mystery, dealing with rape in the South and how women can keep going afterwords. Harris does an excellent job of addressing how Southern ideals effect perspective towards the victim in such a situation. "
