Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

I liked this book better than the first one in the series. Pip was more lovable and didn't make as many morally wrong things as she did in the previous book.

I really thought that the body would be Jamie's for a while and I really didn't think that he would turn out to be alive but he did somehow. I really did feel for Stanley. Although he didn't seem like a good guy in the first book he redeemed himself after apologizing and I don't think that it was wrong for him to want to live a normal life.
We are not our parents and I don't think a ten year old child would understand what his father was doing and what he was helping his father with. It was really sad when he died, I really wanted him to survive. Although I also feel for Charlie murdering a person is not the solution. Stanley was living a life without hurting people so I think that him murdering Stanley was not justified. I don't know I hope he is found and charged. Also I hope Max gets killed in the next book.

Overall a solid read, really kept me on my toes.

I was very unsure where this book was going to go after the last one, however it was just as good. I love the mix media of interviews and seeing the evidence, etc. But it's not so much that it breaks up the story. The last 45 pages had me gripping my book and leaning in closer while trying to keep my emotions under control so that I see what happens.
