Very suspenseful. A great page turned! I guessed one of the characters flaws, but the other characters were a surprise. Now that's a good book!

This book wasn't really what I expected. I thought the focus would be more on Kate being thought of as having Munchausen by proxy. It did have some of that, but there was a whole lot more going on too. A bit too much for me. The book really went off the rails in the second half and there was just too much that was completely unbelievable. I think it could have been shortened and the last part probably could have happened sooner. I don't know. I just know it was an okay book, but nothing I'll remember later.

Liked how everything unfolded even tho it turned out to be a bit convoluted in the end. I finished it in 3 days if thats any indication.

Very great page turner, great character building. Only did 4 stars because the police in it seemed dumb and always a few steps behind the villain so I was constantly angry/ frustrated with them.

Once it gets going it's impossible to put down.

Amazing!! I was on pins & needles, as the saying goes, with each turn of the page!! This book grabbed my attention from the first sentence & held it until the very last sentence. Once I began reading this story, every thing else in my life became and inconvience until it was finished. This is the first book I have read by this author & it won't be the last. I'm now trying to find all of his books. If you like intense drama, a riveting story line, surprises thrown in, a slight touch or suppressed romance, twists & turns with almost every turn of the page then I highly recommend this book..as you read it you will start to think you have it all figured out-trust me, when I say, you don't!! Get a copy of this book today and sit down and watch one of the best stories ever written unfold before your very eyes!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I never give people my opinions so this should tell you something!! Couldnt put it down, read it in 3 days... Written in 99 but felt like a new release!! Im almost done with my Patricia Cornwell Kay scarpettas series and was wondering who id move on too and now i know!! Anybody who loves suspence,twists and turns along with a jaw dropping reaction on every page would love to make this your next favorite book and author!!

This book had me on the edge of my seat gripping it with knuckles turning white.There were only a few..very few but still there...times it when i felt it was a bit redundant which is why i gave it a 4 star instead of 5. Definitely a page turner though and if you are a mother....beware as this will really give you the shivers.

One of the best books I have read in a long time! Found this old one at the thrift store, read the back and it looked good. Definitely didn't disappoint. Lots of twists and turns and TOTALLY didn't expect what happened! Page turner, easy read, loved (or hated) some of the characters, and was surprised and how it turned out. Great read!

Stick with it! I ALMOST put it down after a couple chapters. It may be a predictable love story but with twist after twist you're left feeling like a pretzel. A stuffed pretzel!

[Stephanie Saraos · Rating 4 out of 5]

It had a lot of twists. It made me a little paranoid about real life but hey, it's just a book. Right? I couldn't put it down.

[Kortnie Meyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely a page turner. So much happens and it’s completely unexpected. Great read
