Helpful Score: 1
This is my favorite storyline yet in this series. I liked how there were two stories going at the same time both with stron women getting the job done. Definitely need to read 1-8 first . . . because the story line will impact reading the earlier books after this one.

Great book, but read this AFTER reading all the previous in the Diane Fallon series. There are spoilers in this novel.
Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love this series! I have been hooked ever since I read her first book, One Grave Too Many. Diane is the type of heroine that I like to read about. She has a strong personality and can handle herself in just about any situation. She takes a beating and keeps on ticking to use a saying from an old commercial. For those interested: very little foul language and sex is only hinted at.
Truthfully I thought that this book started out a little slow. Her books usually start out like a runaway train, full speed and don't slow down until it is over. I found myself thinking well the first eight were great so I shouldn't be too disappointed that this one isn't but the more I read, the more I realized how wrong I was. It built up steam until the end.
You actually have two different story lines happening in the book. A couple of chapters will be about Diane and then it will switch to the other story line for a couple of chapters. No hints as to what it might be. :0) At the end they tie up all the loose ends neatly. There are a couple good surprises in the book but I won't spoil them for you. Read it and you won't be disappointed.

My favorite book of this series; hope another is coming out soon. Diane's past and present come together in a book hard to put down.

I've read some of the other reviews of this book and I agree to some extent and disagree to some extent with some of the reviews. The book did start out slow, but in my opinion it stayed slow. I was mostly disappointed with this story. Although it is a good story and I would have enjoyed it in another book, this book was mostly a disappointment to me. There is very little in this book of what I think has made this such a strong series. I don't want to say any more than that so I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't read it. I'm not sorry I spent the time on it because I hope better things are coming in the next book or books, it's just that this one was not at all what I expected from this author.
