Will you recommend this book to me? If yes, Is this a quick-read? Can I finish this off once I pick it up within a week, maybe?

I had started it last year but then got pneumonia right after starting it & was so terribly sick that I couldn't even read. Also, always Busy with 3 active teens & a hubby that travels. I picked it up again 2-3 months ago & restarted it (had only read 1 chapter last year). Finished it in a ~2 days, & stayed up till all hours of the a.m. I didn't want to put it down. As I was reading I went back a few times to tie everything together & see the clues that she hid so cleverly that I overlooked the 1st time. Still surprising ending. The book like a train, starts off slowly, then builds, & at the end feels like you can't get off, as it goes speeding by! Thrilling & sad, intriguing & realistic, I got drawn into the lives of the characters because of the mystery & wanting to find out 'who dunnit?'. (less)
