Mystery, family secrets and relationships
make this book read like a good drama. There is plenty going on to hold the
readers attention. The storyline is excellently thought out and a few twists
are added, keeping the reader guessing all the way through the story. I really
enjoyed reading this book; it is a book worth reading.
