YIKES!!! This is a real hold-your-breath suspense story... Its impossible to put this book down... it all takes place in just one day!!!
Suspense builds greatly towards the end of the novel, when, the reader as well as Gretchen and Kara suspect Chuck of murder. Every which way you turn, suspicion looks him square in the eye. Good read.
A gripping story that makes people do things they really don't want to do.
