I was raised attending church every Sunday - although not Catholic as in the book - so that no doubt inspired the scenes in Aoife's childhood.

I have been eager to sit down and read this book since I met the author at Thrillerfest, and I'm glad I did. The book moves along at a good clip. While some of the protagonist's thoughts about their mother were hard to read, they felt very accurate t ...more

The author did such a great job giving each character their own voice and a distinct challenge. I loved trying to guess all the twists and turns as I read, and it was the perfect book to bring on my vacation. Was sorry to see it end!
