Teen-aged Tessa is the sole survivor of a horrible crime, and her story is told in chapters that alternate between 1995 and the present when the culpability of the man convicted of the crime is questioned. As he sits on death row with an imminent execution date, Tessa's long-buried memories and forensic evidence begin to accelerate. It took me awhile to get into this book, but I did find its suspense compelling once I continued reading. It is slow-moving, and there are unanswered questions about the occurrence of the crime and Tessa's presence there that would have enhanced the ending. I am grateful to Library Thing for the opportunity to review this book in their Early Reviewers' program.
