"I found this book interesting and enjoyed reading it though the narration was not always as smooth as I'd have liked. The characters were interesting and well drawn and, in general, their actions made sense. Though I am not sure the villain made total sense. The story centers around Hannah Griffin, a young woman currently working as a CSI in a town that is not Santa Barbara (though I kept wanting to think that it was). The story follows her through a case she is investigating that involves child abuse. It also follows her as she deals, both as an adult and as a child, with a very difficult childhood and a mother who was a serial killer. Hannah has always believed that her mother died when the crimes were discovered due to their house burning down. However, there begins to be some evidence that the mother did not die. The story goes back and forth but was easy to follow. I would recommend this book to readers of crime fiction."
