The author has the uncanny ability to infuse wit into her work creating comic relief to the tense drama of this thriller. I found myself laughing out loud as I read because I could relate to the silent dialogue her character Lucy had with herself. The vivid characters and contrasting personalities kept me interested. The author does a fantastic job painting a realistic scene in her story telling by bringing believable cues to the reader through her descriptives. I feel a Hallmark quality to the way the story draws the reader into the work asking and answering the same questions the reader has all the while propelling the reader into wanting more. I am looking forward to reading her next book with anticipation.
