This book was pretty good. It was predictable but good. There was plenty of suspense and character building. The book starts out with a bang. Two murders and lots of action. It leaves you wondering why. What did these two people do to deserve such a horrible and graphic death? You will have to read it to find out but I will say that the killer had his reasons for doing it and when you find out why you will wonder why he didn't do much worse. You really get attached to Letty a 12 year old girl. She is a tom-boy who has cared for her mother all these years. She is independent and has a real spitfire attitude. She makes a great character. She is funny and I really enjoyed her. Even though you see a lot of things coming it was a good read and Sandford did a great job on the plot.
