Good plot to keep you guessing the identity of the bad guy. However, a sad topic overall.

I couldn’t get into this book. I felt like there were so many characters and when I was only reading sporadically, it was hard to follow. Didn’t love it, but bummed because I had high hopes! I also started and stopped several times so that probably contributed to the difficulty in following.

Great book. A good mystery.

[Deena Scintilla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Usually a romance author, this was her first mystery. I enjoyed it since I didn't know "who done it" until almost the end. I had been guessing and narrowed it down to the perp and another suspect. There had been several possible suspects.

I didn't get past the 1st chapter. With a title like Sunflower, you would expect a happy book. Not the case at all. Crimes involving children. I couldn't read it. My book was missing it's cover, so I didn't realize what it was about.

Flawed characters add more than enough spice to kill your appetite, first your are hungry, then .... are you sure you want to finish?
