What a book! It's an intriguing mystery story and also a poignant look at life after trauma. Every character in this book has something to hide and something that they can't talk about. It makes the murder mystery hard to figure out because everyone seems guilty but at the same time it makes you understand the struggle of overcoming traumatic events. Very well done.

Pregnant lady moves to Texas with police chief husband, meets devilish Southern belles with dark secrets and gets dragged into several mysterious happenings, one including a stalker from her own past. There's a lot going on here, and I would have preferred fewer storylines, but all in all this was pretty entertaining. There's some dark stuff here: the protagonist is a rape survivor, which plays a big part in the story. Other women are abducted, tortured and killed. That said, I found the novel hilarious at times. Emily, our pregnant lady, has a wicked sense of humor and the filthy rich, completely insane society ladies are amusing, if not believable (at least I hope they don't really exist). I'm looking forward to reading Heaberlin's next crime novel.

I was a good book. A lot of twists and turns, once i had 60 pages left I could not put it down. Finally everything some coming undone.
