Not my cuppa

I don't think the book is terrible. I just don't think it is terrific, either. I didn't find the characters particularly well drawn and the mystery not so mysterious. I won't be buying anything more from the author.

That said, it wasn't horrible and I did finish it.

The narration was also just okay for me.

Where do the lies and cover-ups lead?

I enjoyed the narration and the story.
An overheard phone conversation leads to murder. That was over 20 years ago. Ten years later, the cover up continues and separates two young people in love. Now another tragedy brings them back to the same town, but will they be able to forgive and move forward or will the lies of the past end their relationship forever?

Another suspense filled mystery

A great read. Rita Herron continues to amaze with her books. Great tense romance too.

Interesting

I found the multiple personalities very intriguing. The scientific experiments were twisted and held my attention to the end. Overall a good book.

Mystery with a touch of romance

If you're expecting a romance book, this isn't it. There is some romance but more toward the end. Jake and Sadie had had a close relationship in the past, but circumstances separated them. They fight their feelings through the majority of the book. There was one sex scene but it was pretty low key.

This was more about the mystery of who's going around killing people and what's being covered up. There were some flaws in the story, but this is fiction after all and not real life. The characters were well developed, including Amelia's multiple personality alternates.

There was also some violence but nothing too major.

The narrator did a terrific job.
