I chose to read this book because the action moves between two places that I have lived, Seattle and Key West. The action scenes keep you reading and it is great escapism!
For a first novel this wasn't bad. I had a hard time getting through some parts, but had to get to the end to find how the story ended! If you are looking for a book that won't take long to read, this is it. I think I finished it in two days or less.
This is my second Jenny Siler book and I'm on the hunt for the next. I love how she uses strong, independent women in her stories, yet these books aren't romances (thank God).
The character development isn't lacking and the reader is brought right into the pages as though you were there. There's plenty of action and excitement, our hero isn't afraid to use her guns, and the ending is actually unpredictable.

Because somewhere between the killing fields of Vietnam and the wide-open heartlands of America, a horrifying truth is buried. A truth about a people, a war, and one woman's past. A truth Allie may not survive...This is Jenny Siler's first novel. A very exciting thriller.
