From Booklist
Manhattan attorney Karen Mitchell is finally on her way up the corporate ladder when she contracts a bad case of burnout. Resigning her job results in a breakup with her fiance, and she packs her belongings and heads home to "Mom," the grandmother who raised her, to do some soul-searching. But Paradise is no longer the sleepy little backward town of her childhood. Six-year-old Debbie Norris has just been abducted from her home, and the town is out for blood. Neighbor Todd Simmons is targeted, and Karen volunteers as counsel for the defendant because she's convinced he's being framed. She teams up with renowned journalist Neil Bradford, who is now working at his parents' local TV station and to whom she is strongly attracted, but she wonders about the validity of her own feelings, because she has just ended a long-term relationship, and questions Neil's motivations. Told from multiple perspectives in a journal format, Ellis' romance is engagingly introspective. Lynne Welch
