Reviews

[Sheri Jesse · Rating 4 out of 5]

A real puzzler. I had no clue who did it until they were revealed.

[MK · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the book. A page turner. I was grabbed from the first page, and when that happens I know it will be a great book. Sadly I was disappointed at the end. It felt unfinished. So many questions. What happened the person who they knew was responsible?
What happens with Owen, Vedas brother? . Is there something that happens between Veda and Jon? It just abruptly ends with nothing after.

I’m sorry but the ending was bad.

Are there more books to come so we got some answers?

I have a monthly subscription to Harlequin Intrique, so I’ve read every one published for decades. This book is definitely in the top 1%! It had me hooked early. The character development is solid and the plot kept adding twists. I thought I had it figured out and then was wrong. Really wish the author would publish an epilogue.

This book was an absolute page-turner! I had no idea who the murderer was until the very end. It was a real surprise!
It’s mostly a mystery novel, but there was a hint of romance, but it wasn’t really described at the end. It was left up to the reader to figure out what happened.

One of my favorite authors. Excellent. Tony Redmond released from prison after serving seventeen years for murder is found murdered. and so it begins.

[Toni · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a very good book but it did slow down 2/3 in. I was shocked who the culprit was. Definitely keeps you on your toes.
