" Really quick read the book is less than 300 pages but it deliver's. The ending will leave you baffled and wondering What Happened! "

" This novel moves along at break neck speed, as John Rector channels Hitchcock and Film Noir to create a creepy tale about greed and its repercussions. A fast and great read. "

" Wow. Yes, quick read... The story gets going and doesn't slow... :) "

" Derivative plot but very competently done "modern noir" debut novel. "

" I felt the characters were a little superficial + under-developed, and I hated the ending, but apart from that its a good story. A quick easy read and pretty gripping. "

" I couldn't put it down. I thought it was well written and didn't find a single page dull. Sometimes money gets the best of people, even good people and this was a perfect example of that. It's definately worth your time reading. "

" a great thriller to read this time of year, kept me on the edge of my seat until the end.....lame! "

" This is a strange, rather dark story. It is an extremely fast read that kept me turning page after page, but somehow I didn't find myself really caring about the characters. "

" first draw to this book was the setting. It takes place in the midwest and specifcally Omaha, Ne. I grew up in Nebraska so I was attracted to the book. I was very pleased with it. It was a quick read and a few surprises around each corner. "

" This fine first offering of Mr. Rector's is a spare, tight and fast paced mystery that never loses its momentum. "

" Pretty interesting so far. 1-22-11 I'm on the 4th chapter. "

" A fun and well-written page-turner. My expectations weren't high, but I was (pleasantly) surprised and impressed. Recommended. "

" Suspenseful but a horrible ending! "

" Great page turner. A young couple in love, pregnant set off to start their lives across the country. That is about where the romance stops and the gut wrenching adventure starts. Murder, mystery, bad weather it is all there to keep your interest. "

" I really didnt want to like this book becuase it seemed so simple and predictable, but still I did. Honestly, it is a 9th graders "A Simple Plan", but I liked the characters and wanted to see what happened to them. It won't win awards, but for a first shot, I think it was quite a good ride. "

" great read. has major movie written all over it. "

" This was a complete page turner and I couldn't put it down. The isolation of the characters in the blizzard made me claustrophobic at times. I kept willing the blizzard to stop so everyone could move on! S "

" Good solid noir though not sure about the ending. "

" Pretty interesting so far. 1-22-11 I'm on the 4th chapter. "

" Was quite scary in the beginning and built up tension and mystery. Unfortunately this then dissolved and it became a pretty average, predictable story. "

" This book was perfect! I absolutely did not expect the ending, and it was ambiguous and superb! The characters were so sad, and so trapped by their decisions. wow. CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!!! "

" A delicious noir set in a snow covered motel in which protagonists Nate and Sara fight for their chance at a better life. Rector is going to be one to watch. 4 stars. "

" This was the author's first published novel, I thought it was great. I will definitely put him on my list of authors to watch. "

" Kept me turning the pages, but the ending!!!! Aaaahhhhh! "
