"I enjoy the Hailey Dean character and like Nancy Grace. Look forward to her next novel. "
— Ellenjsmellen (4 out of 5 stars)
" I just recently discovered nancy grace as a author, and I must say I really enjoy her writing. with an ex- protagonist with a similar background to her own, she serves up a good mystery that keeps you guessing. the story moves along at a rapid pace, I enjoyed the dialogue, and especially enjoyed her blatent disgust of most of the media talk shows and their race for ratings. "
— Paula, 2/6/2014" A little difficult to follow at first- but strong finish! "
— Caran-marie, 1/12/2014" It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good either. Fortunately it was also not as strident as I find the author to be on her many TV shows (no I am not a fan). The book was formulaic, but I am also certain that her prose will improve with future efforts and I may attempt to read her again. "
— Joyce, 1/11/2014" Completely unenjoyable. A horrible, self satisfied character that operates as an alter ego for the author. Right wing, intolerant, badly written, nonsense. "
— |, 12/15/2013" It was just ok. I kind of expected more from Nancy Grace honestly. "
— Ali, 11/22/2013" If you liked Nancy Grace's first book you will probably like this one too. "
— Erica, 11/15/2013" Didn't grab my attention so I gave up. If I should have given it more time please, someone, let me know. "
— Carla, 10/18/2013" I only checked this one out bc I enjoy watching Nancy Grace on HLN. I wasnt craazy about this book though... Guess it just wasnt my kind of read:/ "
— Camille, 6/5/2013" So obviously autobiographical and so egotistical. "
— Peg, 5/22/2013" I didn't like this much. Too many characters and hard to concentrate.? "
— Joan, 5/16/2013" I think it is time for Nancy to leave her sad past,(fiance was murdered years ago) and start living in the present.Her husband must be mighty understanding. "
— Carol, 1/16/2013" A second Hailey Dean mystery thriller by the host of "Nancy Grace" on HLN. She's a pretty good crime writer, since she was a prosecutor for years before he TV gig. "
— Patty, 1/5/2013" Only read this because it was in the bathroom after my wife was done with it. It would have been better used as toilet paper. Not that you would buy this, but don't. "
— Nathan, 9/10/2012" Very dissapointing sequel. It seemed like it was written in a rush. I love the main character but everything else in this book was just wrong. "
