Like all of Iris Johansen novels, this book is definitely worth its money! This novel, as well as her other ones, is a page-turning mystery that will keep you guessing. Though most mysteries with major plot twists can be annoying, Johansen pulls it off successfully! The whodunit quality of this mystery is unlike any you've ever read, and it won't disappoint you when you finish the last page--although you will want to read another one of her novels immediately! The amount of romance in this novel balances out the goriness of the novel, and her novels will have any female loving mysteries and action-packed books! I recommend it to any woman who wants something romantic but suspenseful!
