When something new is introduced I would catch myself saying "What Now!?" (  )DGrivetto | Jun 20, 2009 |   This book could be renamed "Guilt" or "Pressure" because the entire book rests upon Lauren Stilwell's reaction to unrelenting guilt and pressure. Yes, you could say that her reactions are sometimes melodramatic and gender inappropriate, but the plot never gives you much time to dwell on these facts. By the end of the book, which rolls around very quickly, the reader is almost out of breath trying to keep up with the plot development. Yes, this turned out to be a good, quick read. Patterson can be relied on to move things along. (  )VinnyL | Apr 27, 2009 | Patterson always puts a surprise toward the end of his books which make for good suspense. I could not, however, believe that the cop wife would protect her husband of a murder or maybe more. She would have to be the most insecure person around....ever. I don't buy it. ( )hammockqueen | Apr 11, 2009 | I enjoyed this book and read it all in one day. The beginning was a bit "choppy" for me and I found it unbelievable that everything kept falling into place so easily for Lauren. I didn't like her too much at first because of all of the lies she told, but towards the end I began hoping things would turn out well for her. I was definitely drawn into this story quickly and could not put it down once I got a few very short chapters into it. ( )ladybug74 | Apr 7, 2009 | I had a real hard time getting into this book. It seemed so predictable at the beginning, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The twists and turns in the story were well worth the wait!
