This story revolves around a single mother and the murder of one of her best friends. Adrienne soon learns that she may be the killer's next target. This is the second book I've read by this author and I can't wait to read another. She pulls you right into the story in the very beginning and keeps you wanting to read all night long until you've finished the book.
