Publisher Description

Former forensic scientist Lisa Black taps her expertise for this tale of investigator Theresa MacLean and the perplexing case she tackles. A dead woman has been found in the woods, and the cause is unclear. The leading theory is that she wandered off and froze, but Theresa senses something far more sinister. "Lisa Black wows us with another tense and unputdownable thriller. She is, quite simply, one of the best storytellers around."-Tess Gerritsen, best-selling author

"Forensic investigator Theresa MacLean is still mourning her fiance who was killed 8 months ago in a bank robbery. She plods on with her job but lacks any special spark of interest. When Jillian Perry is missing (later found dead) she can't help but see the similarities between their lives. Jill's new husband seems a little off to Theresa, and she widens her usual job to include investigation. She's sure the husband is a bad actor, but needs to collect proof to satisfy herself. To further complicate things Jillian's daughter (but not the daughter of the husband)has an inheritance coming her way. If the husband can adopt the daughter, is the daughter in peril? Enjoy!"

    " This is the April pick for my book group. I really enjoyed especially because it was set in Cleveland, Ohio which is not far from me. It was a very fast read. You kind of knew who the killer was, but you just couldn't figure out how he did it. The ending was like something out of a television show; I don't know that she really could have pulled that off. This was the second in the series, so I may have to back track and read the first one. I recommend it for mystery lovers. "

    " Not as good as her first novel. Theresa is not a very likable heroine. She's a wannabe cop, disobey authority, breaks protocol on a daily basis, and is nasty to her love interest. It's very hard to root for a heroine that is so unlikable and unrealistic. "

    " Another great book by Lisa Black. Being a Clevelander my whole life, I cannot be more happy than when an author uses our home town. Yes, it is about murders and investigations, but she uses Cleveland well. Hope this series continues for a very long time! "
