Rachel veut de venger de Michael, qu'elle croit responsable de la mort de son frère. Même si ce n'est pas très original, ça aurait pu être le début d'un bon roman, mais ce n'est pas le cas : l'histoire n'est pas crédible, les personnages non plus, et on devine l'identité du méchant dès le début.

It was fantastic, it just kept you hanging on till the end. Great read

I enjoyed this book -- it was very different then the Moon series - being first published in 1995. Good plot, good tension between leading characters, I did guess who the "bad guy" was about 1/3 of the way through the story, but I was surprised by the character that was the accomplice.
I did think that detective Hamilton was a weak character that could have had more development or been more involved in the story line.
Overall - a good book
