Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Beautiful doctor Peyton Shields, head resident at Boston's Children's Hospital, and handsome lawyer husband Kevin Stokes would appear to have bright futures at the start of Grippando's stand-alone, which falls short of the standard of the author's Jack Swyteck series (When Darkness Falls, etc.). Mutual suspicions of infidelity and the fundamental failure of either partner to trust the other pave the way for the misunderstandings that make Peyton and Kevin ripe pickings for a psycho obsessed with Peyton. First Peyton nearly dies during a snowy accident that only she believes was deliberate. Then she and Kevin are ensnared in a web of escalating circumstances that drive them further apart. The soap opera plot will disappoint those expecting something meatier, and even the two lead characters play stock roles (the strong, independent woman; the dissatisfied, jealous husband). The result is a thriller that doesn't offer many thrills, even when Grippando takes the wraps off some late surprises. This title was first released in 2006 by Bookspan as a Madison Park Press book club exclusive. (May)

James Grippando takes a break from his Jack Swytek series. Alyssa Bresnahans precise delivery makes it easy to follow the story of Peyton Shields and Kevin Stokes, a couple having trouble with the truth, who are allowing their lives to be molded by a psychopath. Every time something is revealed, more remains hidden. Bresnahan portrays the many and varied characters inhabiting the book with aplomb. She gives each character a distinct identity and never drifts into caricature. This is demonstrated especially well with the character of Peytons lawyer, whom Bresnahan manages to play as shady but likable. The story ratchets up to a nice twist at the end.
