"This one is the best in the series. I enjoy revisiting the previous characters but our current h/h were amazing together and the build up to the "bad guy" had me changing my guess several times over. I can't wait for Grit's story (and Marissa's????), as well as O'Rourke's. "
— AnneOK (4 out of 5 stars)
The latest in the Black Falls series is atmospheric and intense—and the characterizations are top-notch. Occasional flashes of dark humor add a lot too.
— RT Book Reviews“Carol Monda’s deliberate pace and matter-of-fact tone help the listener stay on track…a good performance.”
— AudioFile" Very much the second book in a series--a lot of spillover plot from the first books distracts from the main story (Hannah and Sean) in this one. "

— AnneOK, 1/2/2014" Don't bother. This book builds upon another story written by the same author. She keeps referring back to the previous book so many times that I felt as though I was re-reading it. Draggy, slow with unsympathetic and uninteresting characters and story line. "
— Wanda, 12/19/2013" I only read part of this book because I just could not get into the characters! The story line was uninspiring to me-I usually like murder mysteries but this I could not finish. "
— NV, 12/3/2013" This was a poorly edited book. The first two paragraphs were so bad, I had difficulty reading the book. The scenes were ones I'd read many times in other novels. Truly not worth the money. I expected better from a NYT bestselling author. "
— Ruby, 11/29/2013" Very disappointed with this book. The plot appears muddled and ill-defined. The characters are very flat. The dialogue rambles and often times seems quite pointless. The action seems to be thrown in just to provide a change of pace from the flat characters and dialogue. So not worth reading IMHO. "
— Vivian, 10/4/2013" Romantic Suspense at its finest! "
— Amy, 9/18/2013" This was the first book I had read in this series, and it was really good. I had read a book by Carla Neggers before and didn't like it, but I did like this one. The characters were great and the storyline was interesting. Its a short book but you get the full story, fleshed out perfectly. "
— Shera, 8/27/2013" A one-rainy-day read. Doesn't require much serious thought. "
— Rita, 7/1/2013" I am over 50 pages in and I just don't get it. Too many people and just alot of rambling on and on. On to the next book. "
— Cheryl, 6/10/2013" I tried to read this book. It kept hopping around in time in every sentence. Gave up. "
— Willow58, 5/2/2013" miss negar is a great author and i hav e read some of the bookds she has and would like to read more of them "
— Desiree, 12/7/2012" I also like Romance and Suspense novels. You get hooked on these series and have to keep reading and see how it plays out. "
— Janette, 11/21/2012" Not her best, but still a fairly good read. "
— Elizabetmarshall, 10/23/2012" Another good book in the series. "
— Nancy, 7/9/2012" Not a stand alone book. I read Cold Pursuit a few days ago and this answers more questions from it but still lacks cohesiveness. "
— Karen, 4/23/2012" Way confusing, even if it hadn't been over a year since I read the 1st book in the series. Characters never did get to me, I am very disappointed. "
— Cindi, 3/8/2012" Characters you feel invested in. Great book. "
— Liberty, 2/25/2012" I can't decide if it was suppose to be a mystery or RS. Except for Grit and Myrtle and Bowie... the book was COLD... and not just b/c it was set in the winter. "
— farmwifetwo, 8/28/2011" I've read several books by this author which I enjoyed much more than this one. The story just didn't hold my interest. "

— Judy, 5/19/2010" Black Falls Book 2. I was not very happy with this book. It was the second in the Black Falls series, and I haven't read teh first book, so there were some gaps in the story for me. <br/>The book felt rushed. "
