It’s well above others of the genre, and for this reason I will always be willing to read one of Montanari’s novels.

    <body><![CDATA[Montanari is a master of suspense and this one is no disappointment. The added bonus that it all takes place in Philadelphia and so mentions familiar places and watering holes - he uses the real names a places. So enjoy!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This I found even better than Montanari's first, &quot;The Rosary Girls&quot;. The author simply has it all. And with both books, when I read who the murderer was in the end I still couldn't believe it, let alone guess it while I was reading! Can't wait for the next one...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A sort of run-of-the-mill book. The suspense works but isn't phenomenal. I guess my main objection is that I don't feel connected to the characters. Their trials really don't touch my soul and thus I don't get involved as much as I'd like to. ]]></body>
