This book was such a surprise! It shouldn't have been since it won the Agatha award for best first novel. I should know that means it's good--really good... It started out as if it were going to be just another fairly predictable, although enjoyable romantic suspense book. And I started out diappointed because I had thought it would have more substance. My disappointment quickly was transformed into delight and tension. This author proves once again that a serial killer theme can't hold a candle to the dark, twisting secrets held by a normal-seeming mind. GREAT book! Happily gave it 4 1/2 stars--I'm very stingy with the stars otherwise it could have easily been five!! :) Highly recommended.
