I started this book when my husband saw it in a store and thought I'd like it. Wow, was he right! I started it, then read whenever I could. It was an easy read, by by no means a boring one. The plot was gripping, and I found myself saying "Just one more page," or "one more chapter," only to find that I couldn't put it down at all. It was a continual cliff hanger. I'll definitely look for more of Mr. Prescott's books!!

As usual, Prescott grabs my attention from the beginning. The twists and turns of this plot had me on edge. I kept thinking that I knew what was coming, but did not.
An excellent read with well developed characters and plot.
