"This was a book all about guilt and how we believe that God will never love us because of all the bad things we have done. Guilt clouds our decisions and leads us to avoid doing things and saying things in hopes that others don't think we are not perfect. Here was a surgeons wife who made mistakes and has never discussed her past with anyone. She feels she needs to be perfect for God to love her. She finally gets tired of trying and thinks about starting an affair even though she is married. Her husband has his own guilt and is writing prescriptions to keep a law suit at bay. It had interesting family dynamics where both sisters think the other is perfect and wish they were more like each other. I will definelty look for more books by this author."

" great mystery! engaging saga of the main character transformation. "

" I LOVED this book and immediately ordered two more by him, really like this author. This is the story about a lady who has lived the "perfect" life, married the "perfect" husband and is not sure how to handle things when she is tired of being perfect. This is one of those stories everyone can relate to on some level. "

" A minister's daughter and a surgeon's wife Wendi Stratford lives a perfect life with the perfect house, the neighborhood, the perfect husband...Or so it seems. Wendi is sick of her perfect life, and makes plans to leave it all behind her. Until her past, an accident and suspicious deaths around her threaten to cause her to lose everything she thought she never wanted. "

" I know some Christians put on a facade of being Christian when they don't really have the faith. However, I find it hard to believe that a minister's wife would take a 14-year-old daughter for an abortion and not tell anyone that the youth pastor impregnated her. And the respectable surgeon? Far from respectable, but pointing out his sins would be a spoiler. Although I thought the sins of the supposed Christians were overdone, I did like the message about grace. "

" Great book to read on the go. as good as all the others he has written. Good ending - not utterly predictable "

" Woman decides to stop leading the lie of her 'perfect' life, tries to seduce her piano teacher. He ends up seriously injured in auto accident, then other bodies start piling up; she becomes a suspect; turns into a mystery story - is her husband involved? Can she reconcile with him and her family? Not great, but not bad. "
— Diane, 1/9/2014 -
" A "love" story and murder mystery, with a Christian background (I got it for free on my Kindle) -- and it was a good story -- the "perfect" family with its imperfect characters, and the story line made for an enjoyable and quick read. "
— Judy, 1/3/2014 -
" I really did not care for the main character... and I imagine we weren't supposed to, but it made me want to put the book down. And all of a sudden these crazy events were taking place that were so not believable. I do like that the ending was not all hunky dory at least; it did have a twist. "

" First time to read anything from this author. Really enjoyed! Will definitely be reading more of his books!!! "
— Michelle, 12/27/2013 -
" What is perfect? Nothing and no one. But it took events which were mind boggling, conniving and deadly to realize that perfect is a frame of mind. Suspenseful and chilling. A must read. "
— Agnes, 12/2/2013 -
" Woman not satisfied with her life thinks the grass is always greener somewhere else. Interesting read, but not okay morally. "
— Rosemary, 11/15/2013 -
" Again, a freebie that I wasn't sure I'd like, but it was pretty good. "
— Diane, 10/14/2013 -
" This book really kept my attention. Completely unrealistic as she works with accident reconstruction, so suddenly everyone she knows starts dying, but it did keep my interest. "
— Rachel, 3/13/2013 -
" Couldn't finish this one. The woman had a life most of us would kill to have and she wanted to leave it. Pretty unrealistic to me. "
— Patricia, 3/10/2013 -
" This one had a little slow start, but it delivered in the end with a nice twist. Might look into reading other books by this author. "
— Jen, 1/21/2013 -

" it was an ok book, good for a light read, not a sit on the edge of your seat crime book "
— Katherine, 1/25/2012 -
" Even though you think someone is living a perfect life, they have their issues also. I learned to be straight forward with people and not let assumptions go wild. Dont beat yourself up trying to be perfect, only Jesus was perfect. "
— Linda, 1/13/2012 -
" A unique mystery with inspiration. "
— Valerie, 8/15/2011 -

— Victoria, 11/22/2010 -
" I really enjoyed this book. Seemed a little rushed at the end, but all in all a good book. "
— Elizabeth, 12/28/2009 -
" A good read. Intriguing, suspensful, a page-turner. "
