Review Quotes:
"The story twists and turns, jumping in time and point of view among the masterfully rendered characters before depositing the reader at a conclusion so unexpected it shocks, while at the same time the reader can see the hidden-in-plain-sight breadcrumbs that have been left along the way. Characterization and motivations sing in this absorbing, suspenseful whodunit." --Kirkus
