Product Description
From Amazon
Nancy Taylor Rosenberg's earlier works, Mitigating Circumstances and Interest of Justice were suspense masterpieces with strong female characters. Now she's created one of her most sympathetic heroines in Ann Carlisle, a probation officer in danger from an unknown enemy who wants to harm her and her teenage son. What Ann doesn't know is whether this has something to do with one of her earlier cases -- or something to do with her husband, who vanished mysteriously four years ago. A drug dealer who saves her from a bullet has some grisly secrets of his own to hide, and Ann's lover grows more and more distant. Soon Ann realizes that she can trust no one, and must find her attacker alone.

I was surprised by the other reviews for this book. This was one of the first suspense novels I've read in a while that I had a tough time putting down. It's a very fast read, perfect for a couple of late night reading sessions or for a vacation to the beach. It's true that you can pretty much figure out "whodunnit" before the main characters do, and occasionally you'll shake your head and say, "No, you silly, don't do *that*." But hey, that doesn't necessarily take away from the experience (alright, it's a cheap thrill when you figure things out before the main character, but I'll take it). The author does, however, seem to have a thing for characters soiling themselves in one way or another when they get scared (do we really need that?). Overall, though, quite a good read.

First and last of Rosenberg's I've read. I was surprised by the clumsiness of the plotting and characterization. The supposedly professional heroine has little to recommend her. I got to laughing on each new occasion that she forgot some critical fact or forgot to do something important--not looking at subpoenas, stuffing envelopes into her purse and forgetting about them. Even the police do a lot of ambling around, taking their time to deal with important tasks. It's not much fun to read a book where you're a step ahead of the supposedly competent characters throughout.

Having read some of Nancy Rosenberg Taylor's previous work, I found myself disappointed with this one! It was very slow, and it was only after reading the end to find out who the culprit was, that it managed to keep me engrossed a little longer!
