A true suspense thriller that had me sucked into it from the first page to the last punctuation. The story centers around Alice Humphrey who is the daughter of a famous director in New York City, she has been unemployed and is trying to find her own path out from underneath the family name. Along comes an opportunity that may seem a little shady but is also too good to pass up and with it will come the biggest unraveling of family drama that will end up changing everything she thought she knew about herself and her family.
At first with each chapter there was an introduction of an aspect of the story and at times it was hard to keep it all straight until they eventually started tying together, it got easier as I went along. Because there were a few stories developing at the same time, I was able to see the drama unfold from different angles - this element gave the story some depth to which it couldn't if the author only presented Alice's story from the beginning.
I absolutely loved where the book ended up and was surprised until the very end. I would recommend this book to readers who love a little suspense to keep them hooked to the book.

Excellent book of intrigue as to why Alice is set-up for murder. A cast of characters and sub-plots blend to find a missing teenager, a murderer and who is out to blame Alice who takes a position as the manager of an Art studio. Well written and will keep you guessing until the very end.

I see that other reviewers liked the plot of this book. I found it startingly bad; that author doesn't care about any of the characters. There is a decided coldness that this writer exemplifies. I have rarely encountered this in the many books I have read. I am surprised this author seems to have gained any following.
