I can already tell that I'll be back for another Frankie Elkin story even if the ending of this one left me feeling a bit ho-hum. Her character is wonderful and refreshing in these types of crime/mystery novels.

Not my favourite Lisa Gardner book, but she does write a really great page turner. And I love the focus on diverse characters that aren't often represented in books like this - but are also all too often the victims in cases like these.
