When rating this book I realized how hard it is for me to rate a book below a three. The closet thing I can relate the feeling to is when your in a class and no one responds. But nonetheless, I enjoyed this book and the entertainment it gave me. I mean I finished the entire thing in one evening. Did I feel like I could see the made for television movie already? Yes. Did I really mind that much? No. I was entertained.

"Alex Clarkson’s worst nightmares are about to come true… A sinister, hooded figure… When Alexandra Clarkson starts having terrifying visions filled with blood and ceremonial images, she tries to find a rational explanation – maybe her mind is playing tricks on her, resurrecting creepy tableaux from her research on religious ceremonies and sects. But when Alex’s mother, Patsy, commits suicide without leaving behind any information, Alex is left wondering: could she be haunted by something from the childhood she doesn’t remember? Naked, writhing bodies… Detective Daniel Reed was the last person to speak to Patsy. What he reveals to Alex is shocking. Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan Sommer, one of Sonoma County’s most prominent vintners, when their infant son disappeared without a trace. The loss destroyed the Sommers’ marriage, causing Patsy to leave and take Alex with her. A dead child… Called on to investigate the identity of a baby’s remains unearthed in a Sonoma vineyard, Reed had picked up a trail that led him to Patsy in San Francisco. Now Reed and Alex both wonder if the cold bones could be her baby brother Dylan, and Alex decides to accompany Reed back to Sonoma for the investigation. No sooner does she arrive, however, than she is drawn deep into the search for a twisted killer…" (From Amazon)
Another fabulous suspense thriller by Spindler! The characters again are so great.

Fun details about California wine making lost in weird, ritualistic sex and murder. End tied things up too tightly and too quickly for me, happily ever after, but a fast read.

GREAT book, very fast read, didn't want to put it down it had me so hooked. Thank you very much for not making it the brother/sister thing in the end, that would have been way too gross to handle!!!!
