— Marguerite, 2/10/2014" I love this book! Ms.Neggers is my favorite author and this book did not dissapoint me! I loved every single page of this book. I waited long for this book and it was worth it. it has a great story and even greater characters. EVERYONE who loves Ms.Neggers' work should read this book. "
— Oshila, 2/6/2014" I tried, I really did. This is the second Carla Neggars book I've attempted to read, but there is something about her writing style that I find jarring. The first book of hers that I picked up (several years ago) was a galley copy, and when I couldn't finish it, I thought perhaps it was because it just needed more editing so that the story flowed more smoothly. However, this second book, a fully-vetted, published copy, felt the same - stilted dialogue and jerky plot movement with random tidbits of info thrown in that don't seem to have any rhyme or reason, (the priest comes home, takes his coat off, makes a 10 second phone call, gets a call back within a few minutes, and then he puts his coat back on again and leaves. Why describe the removal of clothing if it is irrelevant to the scene? Extra word count?). Descriptions of characters' actions & feelings/thoughts don't seem to coincide with what they are saying, nor do they represent what I feel would be natural/organic interactions between people. I felt a general underlying confusion the whole time I was reading, but kept pushing on because the storyline was intriguing. Unfortunately, it just wasn't enough to keep my frustration at bay, and I had to give up and put the book aside. "
— Erica, 1/14/2014" I'd give this 2.25 stars. Kind of boring, kind of predictable. Not horrible though. "
— Jess, 1/5/2014" Loved this book!!! Can't wait to read part 2. Emma and Colin -- two outstanding characters. Loved this one like I've loved all her books!!! "
— Kathy, 9/7/2013" I enjoyed the book but the main characters seemed to over think their relationship with each other. It felt awkward. "
— Diane, 8/25/2013" Easy mystery set in Maine. "
— Nan, 7/8/2013" Great read by Carla!!!!!!!! Love her books, suspense, edge of your seat read!!!!! "
— Joanne, 5/12/2013" Loved it! I hadn't read Carla Neggers in a while, and I am glad there are more books in the series to look forward to. "
— Kerstin, 3/31/2013" The plot of this book just did not keep my interest. I have read her other books and they have been much better. "
— A, 2/23/2013" Very good read, I liked the characters. I am looking forward to the sequel, but waiting for a drop in price. "
— Kate, 1/24/2013" I really liked this story. I felt her research was very well done and the turns in the story were suspenseful. I look forward to more with these characters. "
— Karyn, 9/26/2012" i could not get into it. "
— Emily, 9/26/2012" I found this book hard to follow for most chapters. The book is listed as " a novel of suspense " but it only gets really suspenseful in the last 50 pages or so. The rest of this book seems to me to just be one big art history lesson. "
— Michelle, 9/12/2012" I read Carla Neggers because it is like sitting down with a blanket and a hit chocolate. Nothing earth shattering but consistent and entertaining. Thus book like her others follows a similar formula that I find comforting to read between other more complex story lines. "
