A magnificent and well-written 5***** book by Thom
…There are a lot of clues along the way and figuring out the “who” is behind it all is really only half the fun, as there is so much more to this book than just that. This is a fast read, and one that will appeal to fans of Mary Higgins Clark or Sandra Brown.
