"This is the third book in the Lily Bard series. Lily returns home for her sister's wedding. It's the first she's been back since she left after her kidnapping and torture, and she isn't sure just how her parents will respond to her. When Jack also shows up Lily is pulled into the mystery of a kidnapped child, and it seems her sister's fiance just might be the culprit. This is an interesting series for me. The books aren't long and they pulled me through the story quickly. Each is a quick, fun read."

    " Excellent writing. The best mysteries are the ones that involve many different people and that let us learn about the characters along the way... and Charlaine Harris does that beautifully. This book and the 2nd one in the series were much better than the first. I'm really enjoying this series. "

    " Good mystery. I liked seeing Lily interact with her family and using her cleaning skills to gather information for her boyfriend Jack. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Shakespeare's Trollop. "

    " The complexity of Harris' characters are fascinating. Lily Bard, as unlikely a heroine as could be, continues to surprise and confound with her sudden love and forgiveness of those important to you. Great story, truly wondrous writing. "

    " Lily goes home! I couldn't wait to open the pages of this book and see how things went when we were introduced to some of the characters she left behind. But, as always, murder follows Lily wherever she goes ... at least this time she's got back up. "
