Faye Kellerman never disappoints. Although it started out a little slowly, once it picked up speed it kept accelerating. I love reading about Peter and Rina's relationship and family life.It provides a respite from the intense issues she explores in her books. I have been reading her books in order, this is why I have just read this ten year old book. However, her books are still relevant. (

I am currently reading through the whole series of Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus novels by Faye Kellerman.
This book brings back the awful memories of Waco and the reminder that these cults still thrive.

Enjoyed reading her handling of the Peter's stepsons teenage growing pains and how they continue to bond with their stepfather. Good balance to the horrid story line of the Order.

Another book to enjoy from a great author. (

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0380730820, Mass Market Paperback)

Narrator Jordan Lage uses his diverse background in theater, film, and television for all it's worth, creating a menagerie of quirky character voices and pumping the spooky meter to 11. But it really isn't necessary. Faye Kellerman's story, centering on the suspicious death of a charismatic cult leader and the deadly reactions of his followers, is mysterious and entertaining enough without all the vocal gymnastics. When playing it straight, Lage does a credible job with an intriguing and compelling plot. Next time, he might consider leaving out "dis, dat, and de uddah ting." (Running time: 4.5 hours, 4 cassettes) --George Laney
