"Terrific insights into what being the wife of an undercover cop must be like. Many plot twists and characters made you feel for their plight even if you didn't like them. Took longer to read this book because my schedule was busy but I couldn't quit as I needed to know how it would end. "

" just okay, didn't keep my interest all that well. <br/> <br/> "

" I liked "Person of Interest" very much. It is the first book by Theresa Schwegel that I have read. I am going to read next the book "Officer Down" by Theresa. Thank you for this good book. "

" Narrated by Christine McMurdough Wallace. I stayed with this book even though it didn't grab my attention right away. It was ok, but not great. "
— Susan, 12/28/2010 -
" besides the fact that they dropped a few f-bombs it was pretty good "
— Jana, 12/20/2010 -
" The only character who didn't annoy me was Niko, quasi-boyfriend of the bratty teen daughter of an undercover cop and his disaffected wife, who is a charming jazz musician. Everyone else I wanted to smack. "
— Trish, 2/2/2010 -
" For lovers of mystery novels, Theresa Schwegel writes another great tale involving a Chicago cop, his wife and teenage daughter. The cop is trying to bust up a Chinese crime ring. His wife has secrets to keep and their daughter is a typical adolescent nuisance. "

" Good Story, hard to get into at the beginning. Crazy how it all wraps up in the end, never saw it coming. "
— Michelle, 10/14/2008 -
" I couldn't get into this book. It was about an undercover cop in Chicago. While he is on a case, his wife and daughter were also involved. It was too far-fetched. <br/> "
— Robin, 10/5/2008 -
" third try and I'm out...just couldn't get into this book "
— Lil, 2/15/2008 -
" I like mysteries, but they are often a little too "fun" of a read with way too many things conveniently falling into place. Schwegel's latest is much grittier without becoming unpleasant. Overall, it was a good read. "
— Melissa, 1/31/2008 -
" A thriller based on miscommunications between husband, wife and daughter. I found it totally bland and preposterous. I also am prejudiced against books written in the present tense. Would not recommend "
