I was a bit disappointed that the TV show didn't follow the book story, but I really enjoyed the book. The story was interesting and the ending was shocking. I'm really looking forward to book 3.

Thanks everyone. The BDB series is one of my favorites, but I can't read one right after the other. They are long, small print in the copies I have and I have to get over the shock each time :-).

Jonetta, I'm looking forward to reading Hidden Bodies (one of my books to read at work) and can't wait for book 3 to come out.
