Great to hear about a sequel!! I was a little disappointed that we never found out what happened in the Seattle homicide that Tracy was working on before she got the call about her sister. Was that mystery ever solved?

Robert Dugoni I won't say....then again, it would be natural, wouldn't it. Thanks for being readers of my work. Your questions will be resolved!…moreI won't say....then again, it would be natural, wouldn't it. Thanks for being readers of my work. Your questions will be resolved!(less)

Many times in the book it was mentioned Tracy was a chemistry teacher at Cedar Grove High School. In one chapter, Tracy is teaching about electricity. As per what i studied in my school and college, electricity was not part of chemistry. Is there any reason behind this?

The reason behind this being included in probably the author's lack of understanding of the distinction, although I would expect all chemistry teachers to have a reasonable understanding of the principles of electricity. I suspect the author included the chapter because he felt reasonably secure in his knowledge of the subject and hoped his readers would too. Most basic chemistry is rarely used by the layperson (reader), but everyone uses a electricity on a daily basis.(less)

How much romance plays in the story b/c I dislike romance novels?

There is a relationship that develops, but it is fairly important to the plot & we are not subjected to a blow by blow (so to speak) description of every emotion and activity they go through. I'd say that the 'romance' is maybe 5% tops of the book.

I get tired of reading books where the 'suspense' is an excuse for 90% romance or attempts at erotic situations. This is not one of them - it's a suspense/thriller all the way. Hope this helps :)(less)
