I don't want to post spoilers because the book has not been released yet. To review it properly I need to comment in detail which would amount to spoilers. So I will just say that Josh Lanyon has done it again, written an excellent book. There is an enthralling and engrossing mystery which is very well plotted and executed.

Classic Josh Lanyon!

The author is very good at what she does and produces books that are highly entertaining, consistently well written and just plain wonderful!
