This book starts with a bang (literally) when grieving reporter Danny Ryan's friend Michael Cohen crashes his car through Danny's fence, right into his pond, then proceeds to mess up Danny's life further by whispering something cryptic and dying with a bullet in his gut.
Sarah Cain builds up a rich world for Danny to inhabit as he investigates the cryptic clue Michael left him, while trying to come back to life after spending a year mourning his wife and son's deaths in an accident.
Danny delves into the underbelly of the high society of Philadelphia and its Main Line, revisits the violent ghosts of his South Philly childhood, and uncovers some truly terrifying connections on his way to a climax that had my pulse pounding.
I stayed up way too late to finish this book because I couldn't NOT. And then, unlike so many thrillers, it ended really, really well, leaving me sighing as I turned the last page.
Beautiful, terrifying writing. And I may have developed a crush on Danny Ryan...

I finished this book maybe a couple of weeks ago but I put off writing the review because I didn't like it that much. The story was ok but a little predictable and not as sensational and the characters would make you believe. And unfortunately, I didn't find any of the characters likeable, even the ones who were supposed to be. The plot wasn't smooth. Sorry, I just didn't enjoy it. I got this book free as a review copy.

When Danny rushes to his aid he discovers his friend is dying of a gunshot wound. Danny then begins to investigate the story his friend was following. A story with links to his father, his mentor and many others.
