MixedNew York Journal of BooksAuthor Katie Sise is a successful Young Adult writer, and there is a definite twinge of YA angst and drama threaded in and out of this story line ... The author writes from various points of view in alternating chapters, which is an excellent way to show depth of character. But these chapters are so short the story seems to jump around abruptly, which may distract some readers and confuse others. The characters get shortchanged, as well. And speaking of showing, the story could have benefited from more of it. There are long passages of internal dialogue in some chapters with a minimum of action and plot-moving conversation between characters. Which is not to say this is not a readable book. It is very readable if you take your time and read it slowly ... Don\'t rush it. The finished product is superbly satisfying, and you\'ll surely look forward to this author\'s next domestic suspense.
