Clark's books have been reduced to simplistic, predictable formulas with little innovation or creativity to spark them to life. Even the villain was predictable given Clark's over-worn habit of repeatedly choosing the same character type as the villain.

The plot depends on a series of highly improbably coincidences bordering on the absurd. The characters are stereotypes from her previous novels. Clark does remain exceedingly good at writing a flowing, rhythmic narrative. At times I found myself yelling at the heroine because she made so many dumb moves guaranteed to have a bad outcome.

Clark remains one of my favorite authors, but I feel she didn't work very hard earning her paycheck on this book.

This one was one of the best. could not resist the desire to keep turning the pages. Ignore the need to do the chores, just read the words and enjoy.

The murder of a fifteen year old girl haunts the whole family. When the killer has served his time, her sister does everything she can to keep him in prison. His wealthy family can pay off as many people as they want, but that won't make him innocent. Laying the blame on a simple minded man won't do it either. She cannot let him harm anyone else. Her obsession with proving his guilt to the world bears fruit when she discovers that this wasn't the first time he killed. Things get dangerous for her before she proves he is what she always believed him to be, a cold-blooded murderer. With the proof comes peace and some healing of her family.
