The book has two parallel stories that intersect at the end. Part of the book is a murder investigation / courtroom drama and the other part is a story about the young woman who is a defense lawyer in the court case. The book had me guessing until the end. There are multiple possibilities and I didn't have it figured out completely until I read the end - just the way I like it. The characters are convincing; they feel real. The family drama will probably be familiar in tone to many of us. All in all - the book was a good read.

I loved this book.
I'm a sucker for a good murder mystery but they disappoint easily. While the overall plot was a bit easy to figure out from the beginning, there were more than enough twists and turns to keep me on the edge of my seat.

my first richard patterson, but definitely not the last. Amazing plot and great writing. I was a fan of grisham but outgrew and was looking for someone better. Patterson's legal thrillers are really good and engrossing. Highly recommended.

Slow read. An overall interesting story, especially because Caroline is in other books of Patterson's so it's nice to hear / learn the background of her life. There were a few twist and turns within the last 50 pages or so of the book that made you be like ooo snap! Overall, I gave this book a low score because it was such a slow read, nothing really exciting happened throughout the book that actually made me want to not put it down.
