5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as Usual, February 20, 2007

Carlene Thompson is wonderful. Once I start one of her books, I can't put it down until I finish it. This one was no different. It seems like she just keeps getting better. I live and grew up in West Virginia and it makes her books seem even more real to me, having grown up around the areas she writes about. This book was written in my hometown so it was a lot of fun reading it. I never can guess who did it because it's difficult to come up with a motive. I can't wait to read her next book. I would highly suggest reading this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 20, 2006

Carlene Thompson is one of my favorite authors, so this book was a real disappointment.

The culprit was obvious from the first time they appeared in the book. Perhaps if their behavior hadn't been so over the top, it wouldn't have been so obvious. A little subtlety would've definitely gone a long way here.

I also found the dialogue to be very amateur and juvenile. Several times I actually read lines out loud to myself because I thought for sure I had to be wrong about what my eyes were seeing. It just was not well-written at all, and I caught several errors that a good proofreader could've easily found.

I certainly hope the next book is up to what I've come to expect from Carlene Thompson.

I have read many of the author's novels and have yet to be disappointed. She is a born storyteller, who is able to craft sustainable and suspenseful romantic mysteries that rival those of Mary Higgins Clark. I am definitely a fan.

In this novel, Brook Yaeger, a beautiful twenty something, has tried to overcome a past that was filled with great sadness, as she first lost her beloved father to illness and then, later, her gentle mother, when she was murdered by her step-father. Brook, a little girl at the time, escaped death at his hands by a stroke of luck.

Now, fifteen years later, people Brook knows are suddenly meeting unexpected, violent deaths. When one of her co-workers, who just happens to be Brook's doppelganger, is murdered, Brook is convinced that her step-father, Zach Tavell, who has suddenly escaped from prison, is stalking her and trying to kill her. Brook knows that her luck has run out.

The book has many twists and turns and, as often happens in the author's novels, the reader can certainly expect the unexpected. The story line movies at a brisk pace and is well-plotted. The reader will be fully caught up in the story that the author has woven.
