This is my first book by this author, but it will not be my last. In fact, I just purchased The Drowning Girls from Amazon. I loved the dual perspectives that also slipped from one time to the other. You need to read carefully in the beginning, but you soon get the rhythm. For me, this was the perfect read. I don't think there is any great mystery, but the writing keeps you on the edge of your seat to see how it is all going to play out. And it covers some pretty tough topics that are especially pertinent in today's climate.
