Lots of twists and turns in this book. A real mystery and it's difficult to figure who done what. Kevin O'Brien again hits a grand slam with this book.

I really liked this book. It kept me guessing most of the way through which makes it more fun. An easy read.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great suspense story. I could not put it down. I thought I had it figured out but it had a few twists. The relationship between the mom and son is wonderful. The way the story lines intertwine reminds me of the movie Crash. Not the topics but they way they intermingle with each other.

I highly recommend. This book is a keeper and I will not be posting it in the near future!

I love Kevin O'Brien's books, but this one didn't quite do it for me. It was decent enough, but was repetitive in places and seemed to drag on. I liked the storyline, but if it was 100 pages or so shorter, I probably would have enjoyed it more. (that said, I am eager to read the next one of his books!!!)

Someone is killing mothers in front of their young sons and leaving behind a faded old toy for the child. A widow and her son are heading out for a lovely weekend with her fiance but someone is following her, stalking her, watching her every move..but who..and why has she been chosen the next to die? To make matters worse, her future husband has disappeared without a trace.There are some twists and turns to this plot that keep it fresh and interesting.In this particular book, the characters are well developed as is the relationship between all the key players, making you care about the outcome and cheering on the good guys (once you figure out which ones they are!)

This was ok. A fast and easy read but nothing too mind boggling or scary
