As good as Margaret Maron's other books. I like this new character. She is very different that Deborah Knott, but they still take place in the Raleigh area, which I love reading about.

I did not like this book. It was very depressing. I kept holding on thinking that the ending would redeem the story. But the ending fell completely flat which made me truly dislike this book. Not Chris Bohjalian's typical writing. Very disappointed.

A poignant story. You are quickly drawn in, but then it moves kind of slowly. Everything turns out ok in the end, but it is still a sad situation. I liked the book, but I don't think it warrants all of the hype.

Good book. Quick read. I don't know what all the controvesry was about. Strange format of the writing. No paragraphs, nothing indented, no quotation marks. Makes it a little difficult to figure out who is speaking.

Good book. Moves backwards in time, so it is a little difficult to get into at first. But then you are hooked. A different kind of story.
