" Although this was a one sitting read, I had trouble believing the plot. Alan and Diane find one of their colleagues dead. The death is ruled undetermined. Meanwhile, a teenage girl goes missing on Christmas Eve. She had consulted with that colleague. Alan had consulted with the parents many years ago. When Diane feels the need to do a little investigating herself, she disappears. It's a very confusing plot and hard to keep track of all of the players. It was great to see Raoul, Diane's husband, on stage for so long. White is good about giving some of secondary characters extra time. But in the end, I simply didn't believe that something so complex would have gone unnoticed. There were constant references to the Ramsey case, albeit unnamed, but if you aren't from Boulder or Atlanta, the details aren't fused into memory. I don't think they added anything to the story. "
