" most suspensful thing I've read all summer, and not a serial killer in sight! Very "atmospheric", sucks you in from page one. Every bit as good as Red Leaves "

" Holy wow. You think you know, and you don't. Until the very end. You have doubts and questions, but theyre not completely answered in one swoop. Loved it. Almost want to read it again right away to understand it better. I recommend this one.. "
— Lisa, 3/31/2012 -
" It's a moving story with shocking reveals, skillful characterizations, and vivid setting, but it lost a star for the writer's overuse of adverbs. I believe the word "silently" is in every other paragraph, and it started to bug me. "
