I enjoyed this book, but I thoght it was too slow. The characters were not always likable, too much landscape description, but overall worth reading, even if it got borning on occasion.

A nicely done drama of family passions and long-buried secrets. The author pulls no punches in this hard-hitting drama of mystery.--Rave Reviews

Fluent and accomplished ... A truly unusual excursion into detection.--Kirkus Reviews

Thin, unbelievable plot. Dull characters. Judge Sarah spends most of her time bemoaning (1) life choices; (2) past; (3) future; (4) coffee. I could care less what happens to this dismal moaner. Near end of book I was pulling for the bad guy to take her out. Sadly she lives to moan more. Author uses thin plot to push liberal agendas, defend lack of ethics on part of main character, promote 'feminism,' and point out what 'victims' women are. Cannot recall a more worthless read.
