Wow. I LOVED this. An edge-of-your-seat, absolutely riveting mystery. He is the rare writer whose talent actually progresses with each novel. This intricate mystery is his best work so far - with a heart-wrenching and yet beautiful story. It was truly wonderful. I can't wait to read what he publishes next!

AWESOME book! So very well written. So many twists and turns, a thriller to the very end. This author does emotion like no other. I couldn't put it down. I can't recommend this one enough!!!!

I found this book one that I could not put down. It is rare that I find a book that I need to wake up and read in the middle of the night so I can see what happens next. This is one of those. I guess that I would compare the author to Harlan Coben's style of writing, mystery, murder, love interest....has it all! Totally recommend this book.

Fantastic read and totally deserving of the recent Edgar Prize. I've read all of John Hart's books, and this is his best, by far. It had me guessing throughout and I stayed up late last night to finish it. I'm still thinking about it, a sure sign for me of a very enjoyable and thought provoking book. Very highly recommend.

This book was so good. I couldn't put it down. Finished it in two days! The characters are really deep and the flow of the book was perfect. The ending was not at all what I had expected. It is a long book but you don't notice that as you are so pulled into the story. You end up rooting for Johnny and praying that he finds the answers he seeks!
