This character-driven mystery surprised me, because it seemed to change tones at some point. Initially, the mood seemed very dark, but towards the end it brightened up and the author attempted some dry humor. The primary whodunnit story was not all that interesting to me, but I did enjoy the characters and the ending is a surprise.

Interesting story. Good mystery, good story, easy read. Good plot.

****A very well-paced and twisty thriller, with characters becoming suspect and then being cleared. Clever interaction between the characters is a Walters trademark, and does not disappoint here. Four stars because of a romance that, while satisfying, seems a little de rigeur.

Very good book! I've read this book twice, and it was just as good the second time as it was the first. It kept me guessing until the very end!

This book is this author's first suspense novel. Was made into a PBS "Mystery" movie starring Daniel Craig. Her books are wonderful suspense filled novels with surprise endings!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have now finished reading the authors second novel. The two books are very different but both very good. I hope to read more books by Ms.Walters.
Interesting twists and turns in both books.
