Once again I've read a book that I feel should have more than a five star rating. It puzzles me a little that it has an overall rating 3.98 rating.

Maybe that's because of the subject. This book deals with a school hostage situation and once I started it I could put it down.

It takes place in a small community, where a gunman has taken a classroom hostage at gunpoint. In the book you find out the background of one of the teachers, one of the long time families. The daughter of which left home long ago and swore never to return, but after a bad accident she sent her children to live with her parents while she recuperates. It also tells of the female police officer that the gunman has requested come to the classroom.
