I liked the story line
Enjoyed this book very much. Good suspense yet a great ending and the characters were so believable that it was easy to get involved in the story line.
Best book I’ve read in years
This is a wonderful story. I highly recommend it.
Another good one by Mofina. I never feel like I have wasted money on his novels.
What I thought was going to be a very predictable book took some really great turns !
Great book.Stayed home from work to read.
Rick Mofina tells a good story. I’ve read a number of his books, and this does not disappoint.
I think the book was based on an interesting premise. However, it was a bit disjointed for my taste after reading other Mofina books. I’m quite a fan of this author, but I was a little disappointed in this particular book.
It was okay nothing special
I like all of Mofina’s books. Great reading
I very much enjoyed this book. I have read several of me Mofina’s books and he’s really good. I will read any more that I find. His writing is suspenseful without being gross. He makes me use my mind, which I most enjoy.
Excellent writing and thoroughly engaging. The series of 4 books continues the story but each are a wonderful read alone also.
The man character (RCMP) accidently kills two children while defending himself from a murderer. This accident haunts him, destroys his marriage and damages his career. Having had his fortune read as a young man and told her would something great he ultimately is killed in an auto accident but us able to donate a kidney to a man dying of kidney disease.
