I've never read Karen Harper before and when I saw the summary ofthis one I thought it looked good. I was wrong. There is waytoo much dialogue in some scenes of this book and the charactersdon't show a lot of emotion. This book has a few parts that weremysterious, the rest seemed dull and drawn out. I was happy that the author didn't include profanity or any brutal violence, but instead of a classic thriller she ended up writing a predictable story. I hope her other books are better.
