" Not as good as the other books. It seemed a little unorganized. "
— Evonne, 7/22/2012" He knows who the murderer is but sits there for months until another murder is committed? Give me a break! As for the ending--it reminded me of how a teenage girl might end a creative writing assignment for her Sophomore English class. I am actually insulted by the level of this book! "

— Anna, 2/9/2011" The more of read of this author, the more I wonder what I liked about her to begin with. The books are a very easy read, just don't think agbout logic and time continuity when you read them. "
— Terri, 2/1/2011" Overall, I liked it. But I can't figure out why both the Sheriff and the DA keep turning their job over to the Judge. And why would you figure out who the killer is and then do nothing about it for months? "
— Anjula, 10/9/2010" Certainly not a difficult read. I don't understand why the main character identified the 'killer' and yet did nothing for several months at someone else waited to be tried for the murder. But, even with that, I enjoyed the book. "
