I picked this book up because I enjoyed Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing For. I found myself comparing the two books, and found myself guessing more of the plot twists in this one. However, I still enjoyed it, as it moved very quickly, and despite being a thrilled was full of highly complex characters. Also be warned, there are some Stepchildren/Step-parent relationships in this book that may make some people uncomfortable.

3.5 overall not that bad and had good stuff and characters. Biggest issue is every sexual relationship in this book, nah. So like, if you are into step parents with step children affairs, then you will love this book.

4.5 stars. It's been a long time since I've been surprised by a book marketed as a thriller. Most of the ones I've picked up over the years have been formulaic and predictable, with the twist easily seen a mile off. I thought this book would be no different, but since I'd never read any of this author's work before, I decided to give it a go. Boy, I'm glad I did! This would've easily been read in one sitting, had I not needed to go to work, lol.

Told in a "then" versus "now" format, the story centers around the death of Harry's father and how the deadly accident may not be as innocent as it seems. For a book of this nature, the way the author releases pertinent information through the chapters pulls the reader along and coaxes them to continue on with the book.

Certainly, this is a slow burn. It isn't until about the mid-point of the book that we see the investigation actually taking off and the resulting actions of the characters. But it works in a way that had me eagerly turning the page.

Probably the best part was when I thought I had figured things out, only to find myself upended rather unexpectedly. I have to admit, I found that to be delightful and a definite reason to check out the other books by this author.

Personally, not Peter Swansons best work. It was a pretty uncomfortable read, with the amount of sexual tension between completely inappropriate characters. The pacing was a bit slow as well, I feel like I was waiting for things to get interesting pretty much the whole time.

This was a wonderful thriller. It kept going back and forth between what happened years ago and what happened with lots of twists and turns as to what actually happened. It has a nice twist before the surprise ending.
