Why is it that every woman character has to be a therapist of some kind and have no clue about anything and be a wimp along with it? that pretty much describes Robin, and why always a bad relationship with your siblings? I just don't think that happens all the time in real life but oh well, Melanie was a total b---h throughout and why oh why does there always have to be an autism child involved? that is so sad

This was just very very slow and kind of on the boring side after 100 pages, seems like everything is repeated over and over and then you hit the point of knowing the outcome, so it isn't a new story but an overdone one

I gave up on Fielding a long time ago but I've tried a couple of her books in the past few months but with this one I think I'm done with this author

Not sure I care to read another book by this author. WAY too verbose. If Robin said "I'm sorry" one more time, I was ready to scream. She spent most of the book with no backbone and apologizing constantly. Melanie needs to meet up with someone with a worse attitude than herself - though not sure there could be anyone.

Too many other great ones waiting out there for me - will not waste time on another like this one.

Despite weak reviews, this was a readable light mystery about two estranged sisters coming together after a home invasion. It kept my interest with likable characters that had me reading to the twisty ending.
