Very well written, with many twists and turns. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

This has got to be one of the WORST books I have ever read. The only reason I'm being so kind and giving it 2 stars is because the story had potential, but it was just so poorly written I couldn't stand it. Some parts of the story were so over the top and unbelievable. It was like a car crash, I knew I shouldn't be looking at it but I just couldn't help it. A part of me did want to see how it all turned out, but I had to suffer through the whole thing for no good reason. The ending is so forgettable, even 2 days after finishing it I can't remember what the entire final outcome was because I just didn't care anymore. There were just too many stupid, "who-really-cares-about-them" characters and just too many twists and turns and stupid theories about "the truth". I was disappointed in this novel because I had read the other two novels by this auther, Snow Garden and Density of Souls and they were pretty good. I don't know WHAT happened with this story but it was awful.
This is just my opinion, but I can honestly say I have never read such a horribly written book.

A complex, thought-provoking mystery that winds from the mansions of Hollywood to the trailers of Visalia. From the best-selling author of The Snow Garden and A Density of Souls. I loved this book!
