Great book.Look forward to reading about Thomas Mast FBI agent.
EXCELLENT~!~!
FANTASTIC!!!
Mary Ellis had me on the edge of my seat while reading the book for more than one reasons. And the ending was what I thought for Meghan would happen but I still wanted to finish the book.
Hope there is a third book in the series.

I had a hard time getting started with this book, but I am glad I stuck with it. It was an interesting story, and good suspense. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
