This wasn't a bad read, but I wouldn't call it great either. I wasn't too keen on the subject matter, but I read on. The "twist" at the end was decent, but it just seemed to wrap up too nicely and too quickly to suit me. All in all, not a terrible book, but not a great one either. It kept me reading, so that says something. Best thing I can say about this book is this: it was good to pass the time, I guess, and it was a quick read.

I have read many of Lisa Gardner's books and I always have high expectations. This is one of her earlier works, but very well done. This is not part of the two series she writes (DD Warren and the Quincy/Rainie), but a very good stand alone thriller.

Take three women that have gone through the worst experience a woman can have... being raped. As you start to empathize with the women in the story, all plot goes on some interesting twists that I didn't see coming. I don't want to spoil the surprise so I will leave it at that. :)

Overall, I greatly enjoyed the story and thought it was well done.

I loved this book! It started intriguing then slowed down and I was a little skeptical but once things pick up in the back half and you get that hint of reveal. wow. Game obn.
