Had forgotten enough to make it entertaining again. This one features Susa Donovan as one of the secondary characters.  hailelib | Oct 26, 2009 |  The "surprise" ending wasn't really that much of a surprise - I figured it out way too early in the book and was frustrated with the characters' denseness at not being able to see it. That interfered with the plot movement for me. Also, the dialog was a bit awkward at times, particularly during some of the cheesy love scenes. (  ) librarity | Sep 11, 2008 | It took me a while to get interested in this one -- the "pearls and cashmere" set of Southern California is a bit foreign to me. However, once this story got going, I was hooked. I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator does a good job. Her character voices aren't too distinct from each other, but I was still able to follow who was saying what pretty easily. (  ) missylc | Oct 18, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell creates another masterpiece of excitement and chills, passion and surprise
When Lacey Quinn inherits the striking landscapes done by her late, much-loved grandfather, she believes they are as good as anything hanging in museums. But the paintings now in her possession are more than the works of a talented master. They are anguished voices from the grave . . . crying murder!
Lacey begins researching her grandfather's past -- and is rocked almost immediately by a strange series of violent events. Someone wants to steal her inheritance, to reduce the paintings to unrecognizable ashes in a suspicious blaze. Someone wants to prevent Lacey from examining her grandfather's work too closely . . . by any means necessary.
Ian Lapstrake, a security specialist, has taken an interest in Lacey's inheritance . . . and in her. Troubled by what he sees, he becomes Lacey's shadow, as her search for answers leads them both down an ever-darkening road paved with lies, blood, and devastating secrets.
