Suspense, Suspects and Surprises Galore

This psychological thriller was gripping from the beginning, but as the story unfolded there were so many twists, suspects and surprises, all I kept saying was "WAIT....WHAT!!" and "WOW, I NEVER SAW THAT COMING". This is my favorite Caroline Mitchell book so far. All her other works were great, but this one was quite the rollercoaster ride.

Great Suspense!
