Excellent mystery with a little bit of romance thrown in.

The main character is great: a high-priced female lawyer with a family secret.

Nice plot twists too!

Look Closely is an action-packed thriller of surprising emotional depth. I ordered this book from a PBS member and when I started reading it I could not put it down. It is a thriller without the blood and guts. A very good story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Attorney Hailey Sutter has lost contact with her brother and sister after the death of their mother when she was 7. Suddenly, she seeks the truth to her mother's death when she receives a letter that says, "There is no statute of limitations on murder. Look closely". So she begins to unravel the truth and things get weird. I suspected the ending about half way through, but there were some surprise elements. One of the surprise elements really annoyed me. The person that sent her the letter has really strange motives and has been keeping track of her in a most unconventional manner that I just didn't like. Overall, though, it was fascinating and kept me reading at a very fast pace in anticipation of the end.

An enjoyable read. Fast paced, credible and well written. It had me guessing until the end. Would definitely read the author's other books.

Manhattan attorney Hailey Sutter is headed to Chicago to represent the McKnight Corporation, whose Internet company has been accused of Web technology theft, when she receives a note saying, "There is no statute of limitations on murder. Look closely."

The ominous statement catapults Hailey back to Woodland Dunes (a small seaside town on Lake Michigan), where her mother died from a head injury when Hailey was seven. Shortly afterward, her older brother and sister disappeared, and she was left in the care of her father, who refuses to discuss the incident.

Between the McKnight arbitrations, Hailey flies from Manhattan to Chicago to Portland in search of her estranged siblings and answers that she hopes will shed some light on her mother's mysterious death. The smooth first-person narrative builds suspense and paints a fine picture of time and place.
