Initially I hated this book. It starts out as a shooting at a shopping mall where 16 people are killed. I stuck with it, and it quickly became a mystery/thriller that ended up as a normal wonderful Roberts book.

Several years after the shouting people begin to be killed and no one knew why. It soon became clear that it was related to the shooting. But how, why? The story revolves around many of the survivors, and was interesting.

Like many others, I enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down. Though my husband doesn't read many of my Nora Roberts books, there are some that I know he would like, and this was one. He, too, read it in a couple days and liked it as much as I did.
It is fast paced and very interesting, with main characters that you are rooting for, and a great villain.

Best work of hers yet.

Very well written story that follows several people, for years, after a mall shooting.
How each reacts to the trauma and aftermath explores the many ways people respond to such an event.
Well worth the reading time.
