I had read this book a lot of years ago and just reread it as I am reading all of Patricia MacDonald's books again. Her books are quick easy reads that have great suspense. I think this one is one of the best. It is so shocking what Lillie has to go through with her family that I found myself getting angry. I also enjoyed the way the author portrayed Lillie's emotions and her feelings toward her family members, especially her daughter. It was very well done. I thought the ending was fine other than the fact that I was so into it that I wanted the story to never end. A great read that most will enjoy!

I stumbled upon this author at the library one day. Her books are pretty good. Very fast reads! I've already read three of her books in less than a week (and I don't have THAT MUCH free time).

Anyway, this book took some turns I didn't expect at first, although it was pretty easy to figure where the story was headed.

The book is about a mother whose daughter is killed after a Founder's Day celebration. There are some red herrings as to who the killer is, and a subplot about the girl in love with the son that really just ends. And while it was an enjoyable read in the car on a road trip, my biggest complaint is that her story just ends. Even though you pretty much know what happened, the author doesn't tie up the story and give you the details on how or why. Most thrillers will rehash everything in the end and give you more insight as to what happened and why. MacDonald doesn't, and it bugged me - I like knowing all the details. (Every one of her books I've read has been like this)

So, if you're looking for a fast read, with some surprise twists, this may be for you.

I loved it! It keeps you guessing until the end. It also has great character and plot development. You won't be sorry you tried it!
