Book Reviews
[A] un-put-downable psychological thriller…. Distinct, well-developed characters, shifting points of view, and a disturbing narrative that pulses with life create an enthralling tale full of surprises.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review)  This thriller will stay with the listener long after the last line is spoken. —Ann Weber, Bellarmine Coll. Prep., San Jose, CA
Library Journal


Stellar domestic drama…. Expert misdirection keeps the reader guessing, and the rug-pulled-out-from-beneath-your-feet conclusion—coupled with one final, bonechilling revelation—is stunning. Best not to bet on anyone. A compulsive read.
Booklist

As Jewell moves back and forth from the past to the present, the narratives move swiftly toward convergence… [yet] little suspense is built up, and the twists can't quite make up for the lack of deep characters…. This thriller is taut and fast-paced but lacks compelling protagonists.
