| I thought highly of the three other books by Caputo that I read. Not so much this one. It had it's moments, especially the last 20-25% of it that resolved why Cyrus Braithwaite sent his three sons on a three-month trip to wherever they chose. A colle ...more | |

"This is a very different story. It begins with the fatal stabbing of Detective Ian Gibson while he was on a stakeout, and a simultaneous birth of Suzan. It seems the good detective’s soul was instantly reincarnated into Suzan’s body – and mind. A ver"
