“Book after book, Kellerman has been a consistently outstanding storyteller, but she really knocks it out of the park with this new stand-alone detective thriller…These characters with their all-too-real flaws really invoke empathy and sympathy as they struggle to make it through adolescence…When it comes to detective thrillers, Kellerman is second to none, but lowering the age of her dogged detectives takes this story to a whole new level. Absolutely not to be missed!”

“Narrator Charlie Thurston does an admirable job of bringing life to a wide range of characters, including Ben, his family and friends, the killer, and the detectives involved in the investigation. Thurston transitions well between these characters while providing each with a distinctive voice. The story itself is compelling, and the ultimate confrontation is satisfying.”
— AudioFile“Kellerman delivers a great story, some fine characters, and a disquieting, look-over-your-shoulder atmosphere that should keep readers turning the pages as fast as they can…Compelling and sharply written.”
