Cassie Larkin is on her way home from work when she sees a man and a woman fighting beside the road. After calling 911, Cassie does exactly what the 911 operator told her not to do. Cassie got out of her car and confronted the man holding a knife. As the sirens are getting closer, the man utters a threat to Cassie and steals her car. When she tells the police that the guy now has her house keys and address, they aren't concerned, believing that he will not be sticking around the area. The next day Cassie's husband Sam takes their little girl trick-or-treating in the neighborhood and never returns home. Cassie finds her daughter standing with strangers. Sam is not answering his cell phone.

This debut novel by Heather Chavez is a clear winner. It is a twisty, fast-paced thriller. Though Cassie makes a couple questionable choices in this mystery and I had to suspend disbelief a time or two, I couldn't put this book down. I wasn't sure where this twisty story was going, but I was hooked. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
