What a great book! I picked it up to glance through it and finished 4 hours later. A story of the fragility of family relationships, of trust and mistrust. All of these things wrapped up with a degree of mystery leave you with a book you'll be thinking about long after you've finished it.

Such a great book, I could not put it down! I like the way the author tells the story kind of from the end, or really from both ends. I found it very engaging and suspenseful. I found the story was very well told and allowed you to really relate to the main character.

Red Leaves is a page turner, much better than other books by the same author. A teenage boy is the last one to see a young girl he babysat alive. The investigation focuses on him, unravelling his family and the community. Even his dad isn't so sure he's innocent....ending is a shocker!

The disappearance of a young girl creates an atmosphere of suspicion and hate in a nice family on the east coast. Well written and profane. Harlan Coben, literary critic, says that "Red Leaves" is "one of the best novels you'll read this year--gripping, beautifully written, haunting, surprising, and devastating."
