My Thoughts

This was a thrilling novel with a deep plot.  I read this book twice!  The first time through I could not put the book down, needing to figure out who the killer was.  During the second go around I went a lot slower, this book has so many twist and turns, I wanted to slow down to get it all.  I was amazed that  while figuring things out, Nick and Taylor realize how much their lives crossed paths.  This is a Christian novel but does not push religion.  It was clean and I would recommend this to anyone.
