MY THOUGHTS

Robin Caroll never disappoints and her newest suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Caroll plunges the reader into the world of adventure games, increasing the stakes with a murder. I was drawn into the story immediately and hard-pressed to set the novel aside as the intrigue increased with each chapter. Caroll deftly moves between the current challenge of solving the murder and the events of the previous days, keeping me guessing and breathless. I really thought I had figured out the culprit but I should know better than to think I have outsmarted this gifted author. Caroll seamlessy weaves a powerful message of forgiveness into this captivating tale. Add this heart-pounding novel to your reading list!
