One of my favorite Tami Hoag books. Very quick, fast paced reading with real depth of character. The sequel, Alibi Man is a worthy successor that continues the story of Elena. I hope Hoag continues the series.

Major storyline of horses, didn't pique my interest. Probably only book of hers I wasn't crazy about.

I have enjoyed several of Tami's books, and this is among her better books. I like the way that she ties the mistery into the horse world of Florida elites. She also has very good character development. If you like Tami Hoag, then read "Dark Horse".

Tami Hoag has been called the Queen of the Suspense Thriller. She writes with a razor-sharp pen and of characters that are alwaya a step and a half ahead of us. She's s darned-good writer and hard to put down.

A story of an ex-cop, a missing girl, and a killer locked in a race where there can only be one winner and the losers die trying. Centered around the wealthy world of the Palm Beach horse set. Lots of twists and turns. Good read!

It took me a while to get into this book. I started listening to it three other times before it finally stuck. The third time I started it I decided to listen to it in my car while driving home from work. I am glad that I started it again because this was a good book. It has mystery, suspense, thrills....
There are several references to some really bad words, so don't let your kids read or listen to this. I love the twists in the story too.

This book is very well done, hard to put down until you reach the end. I enjoyed the characters. The location it takes place and the world it invites you into is intriguing. Loved the book, Tami Hoag at her best. If you are already a fan you will want to read this and if you haven't read her yet, you will want to start.

Another tangled web of deceit, murder and page turning excitement. Not one of my favorite series. I think we get hooked on a certain hero or heroine and stay with them. when the characters change, just like in tv shows...it takes some adjustment.

Hoag's otherwise-fine suspense thriller about a kidnapped girl and dirty dealings among Florida's horsey set is flawed by the appearance of a hitherto-unmentioned distant relative to neatly tie up one of the dangling plot threads.
