I have to agree with one of the other reviews on this book in regards to Part 2 not really involving the Samantha Gannon character. When I first started reading it I had assumed that Part 2 would be about Laine Tavish's granddaughter, but it wasn't. It only referred to the book Samantha was writing. Samantha was a big part of the first chapter of Part 2, but then that was it. The rest of Part 2 was about Eve and Roarke and being I haven't read any other J.D.

I felt like I was watching a poorly made horror movie that included casual sex while the killer was planning his next move. I can deal with there being a rape or murder because all suspense books are based on some type of violence, but did there have to be such graphic detail? I only finished it because I wanted to know who the psycho was. All violence put aside, it was a decent suspense story but didn't include any romance whatsoever. Casual sex does not equal romance in my book. Reader discretion advised: rape, murder, lots of casual sex, adult scenes and overall violence. Not on my bookshelf anymore.

The emphasis on Carrie resulted in a weak character sketch of Leah. Of course, without Carrie the book probably wouldn't have held up because she was the basis of this story. Instead of the Carrie storyline, I found the murder of the Spanish/or Indian woman's brother or cousin more interesting. I thought it deserved about 4 stars, but more like 3.5. It was still a decent book though and I'll certainly read more by Susan Wiggs.
