Reviews

[Carole Latimer Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a good read but a little terrifying. My second book by this author. I haven’t figured out if he hates women or just thinks they make great crime solvers. Pen who is a paraplegic and attorney, does the work for the FBI and police after loosing her job. Takes place in Minnesota and on the west coast.
