I really liked this book. I thought the characters had great chemistry and I loved the mystery surrounding the whole thing. Yes, it was somewhat a whirlwind adventure at times and at times, unbelievable - but isn't that part of fiction? I do find it hard to believe that she would just leave her daughter at the end but, keep in mind that her daughter was grown and her future was secure. Having your mother run off is certainly preferable to having her rot in jail! I would also love to read more about Matt and Wynne. I actually was online trying to see if Ms. Alexander had another book that included them. All-in-all, it was an enjoyable read.
