Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Cook's latest suspense novel centers on a murder in a small Southern town during the early years of desegregation.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

The author of such best sellers as See Jane Run (LJ 3/15/91) has had a field day writing her heroines into dangerous situations and then pulling them to safety, bloodied but unbowed. In her latest, violence shatters the formerly comfortable world of a woman and her daughter.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very long read that leads to an unintelligible ending., April 15 1999
By Michael Schau (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very long, static and redundant tale that comes to an abrupt conclusion that could cause mental whiplash. I am curious that the other reader/reviewers who have made entires here find the story and its sudden, odd and unlikely ending so fascinating. I re-read the last four pages several times with the hope that the meaning would dawn on me. I get the facts of the finale, just not the context in which they fit into this story. I consider myself an avid reader (and one who grasps the plots and nuances of writing) but this one makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. (I welcome comments from any reader who can clear up the matter in a private e-mail; I have written to Mr. Cook to ask for an explanation.). Definitely not worth the effort for me; move on to the next book on your list.

1.0 out of 5 stars incredibly bad book--so much potential, Jun 13 2004
By fredwoods (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
I was enthraled by this book. This was the first of this author that I had read. I could hardly put it down, the writing was incredible.

And then the ending came and it was as if all the air went out of the balloon. Lame, weak, stupid, words fail me.

This guy writes well but someone needs to supply him with a plot that works. What a sad waste of time to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reason I love Cook, May 20 2004
By Judith Hodges (GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is another reason I love Thomas H. Cook. He has a way of telling a story that keeps you on edge. You are dying to know how it ends, but the journey is long and often dark. When I first started reading this book, I wanted to rush to the end, but his story kept me hooked. He is not like most authors that write the same story with a different character everytime. For someone like me that reads lots of mysteries, it is nice to be challenged in a book. His writing style makes you slow down and enjoy the ride making it a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to expectations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Dreadful
In the correct sense of the term, this story is dreadful. The
writing invoking the lives of the young people in the story is
very good - their loves and betrayals. Read more
