I read anything and everything Amanda Stevens writes she is that good. I am trying to find all 50 some books she has written. There is a serial killer on the loose and the body count keeps rising.

[Karen Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good strong mystery with lots of twists and turns. Lite on the romance but it still works. It took me a bit to get into it but once about half way through you don’t want to stop until you figure out which of the potential suspects is guilty.

[Crystal Ecklund · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good thriller. Towards the end, i didn't want to keep reading because I was terrified of what was going to happen. Definitely lots of moments of suspense. Though I have to assume the boat coming in the bay at night was Donnie. That was never revealed. It was a mystery that left me guessing and loved how Trent and Sydney worked together to solve a 20 year mystery.

No es lo que más me ha gustado de la autora ni por casualidad. Al ser breve, sentí que faltaba mucho contexto y que no se disfruta del desarrollo, todo pasa apuradísimo y muy líneal. No hay misterio en realidad.

Excellent read! A very intriguing mystery that was not easy to figure out. I definitely want to read more about these characters. There's so much more to their story.

This was a quick read. I was able to figure out who the killer was, but there were still some surprises. It was a good read.

A fast paced crime mystery with a bit of romance thrown in. The actual ending was abrupt, but satisfying.

Great book

I couldn’t put this book down. This book had me on pins and needles. Never thought of the real killers were. Glad it all worked out for Sydney.

Mystery

An interesting who done it. A little bit of a different story than I expected. A good read. Missing some of that creepy atmosphere that we normally get from this author.
