my thoughts:

Awesome book from the beginning to the end! If you read the excerpt then you know that this is every parents worst nightmare, the death of a child, especially if you are a single mom and the child is really all you have.

I liked the way that the story is told from different perspectives of a few of the characters. This is sort of a suspense/mystery story. The story is told so well from the detectives point of view as they try to solve the case and from another character in the book who remains somewhat of a mystery person, I do not want to go into too much detail or I will ruin the unbelievable twist in this book.

I would say that this is one of my favorite, could not put down, books so far this year. The ending really does have quite a surprise twist.
