I gave this a really unfair rating because I read Blown Away first. If I read this one first, I probably would have given Blown Away a very low rating instead. Basically the characters are the same in both books but with different names. We are talking about down to the cheating ex-fiance and Tony being with her at first to pay back someone. Add on the sheriff, security experts, and a PI. Same exact thing. There even the same scenes and thoughts by the characters. Needless to say, I feel really ripped off by Sala.
So here is my advice about the book. If you have read Blown Away, don't waste your time on this one and vice versa. This is the only the third book I have read by Sala. I plan to read more books by her but I really hope she is not a one-trick pony.

Now a body has been pulled from its watery tomb, a body that is identified as Frank Whitman's. This grim discovery proves Sarah's father was innocent...and that the real thief got away with murder. Now Sarah's obsession with uncovering the truth is making some people in Marmet, Maine, very nervous. Suddenly the prosperous citizens of this community are under intense scrutiny - including Tony DeMarco, who grew up with Sarah. But is the concern Tony shows for Sarah's safety genuine or is he hiding something dangerous? And can she trust him with her future as a desperate killer tries to shut the door forever on the past...?
I enjoyed it very much. The romance part was expected but the plot was good.
