Hard one to review--I'm giving it only 2 stars as I didn't care a lot for it. I found it to be slow moving with too many pages of nothing adding to the current storyline but instead dwelling on each characters 'thoughts' etc.

Cut up in short chapters (which I like) it switches back and forth from the victim to the reporter and I found that tiresome.

I didn't connect with any of the characters, didn't like or dislike them but just found the story kind of bland.

The 'secrets' of the victim seemed ridiculous in the day and time of 2012, I guess situations like this can happen but yet I didn't find this one had much suspense/thriller to it, it had some mystery but only because you are waiting to find the murderer but it isn't hard to figure out.
