This was my first Laurie Breton book. I have to say it was very good. It had a couple decent twists and even a surprise ending. My only problem with the book was her excessive wordiness to constantly interrupt dialogue with actions as if it were a screen play and we needed to know the blow by blow of what the characters did with their hands. The book was about a serial killer, yet we only had one actual look at how the killer worked and only one victim's body. Therefore it lacked a little of the intensity and fear that a serial thriller may have. Nevertheless, the attraction between the two characters was not immediate in the sense that the reader could feel the emotion, but built quickly and only got intense from there. All in all, I think the author has potential and I hope to read more of her books.

This book was incredible. The characters were real, the heroine had depth. It was a great thriller, with just enough romance. I love this author and after I read this book I went on line to find anything else she had written.
Great book!

Excellent suspense and plot development. The relationship between Caro and Conor was heartbreaking at times and heart pumping at others. This is a wonderful first book and I will definitely be looking for more from this writer!

This one will keep you turning the pages...poor old Boston has another serial killer and the "perp" will surprise you. The characters are well drawn and the underlying sense of irony and humor bring a chuckle now and then. You may even recognize a few of the characters and situations as the author weaves in a variety of realistic people, including the few oddballs we all run into now and then. I recommend it!
