French has a natural talent that is clear from the first page. She uses emotion and description to bring her characters to life.
A horrible crime has been committed. As the chapters unfold different suspects take shape. French forces the reader to puzzle over the motives behind such a heartless crime. The homicide detectives are nicely crafted and add interesting dimensions and subplots.
This book was a bit long and moves slowly. However it mostly held my attention and I would recommend to other suspense readers.
