The plot twist at the end was a nice way to give us all the info yet still surprise us.

There were some interesting twists n turns but I enjoyed the story.

The mystery side of the story was well thought out. My only complaint is the way Monique treated Gary. She was nasty to him a lot for no real reason. He treated her with respect from their very first meeting and her reactions to him did not seem justified in my opinion. Still, this was a good read.

At first I didn’t care of Monique she was so mean to deputy Anderson. This one was slow in some parts and put me asleep. But over a semi good book.

The book was written pretty well. The characters were different and done well. The flow of the book towards the end got a little spotty but was otherwise good.
