very good mystery ! Fast read with an ending I didn,t expect. Love it when you can't figure out who did it ! Hope he writes more stand alones.

Really great suspense and story. I listened to it on audio book, couldn't wait until the next disc. Will definitely check out other books by Brian Freeman.

I enjoyed this book primarily because of the setting--Door County is our family vacation spot. The writing was so-so, although the ending was not what I expected. It's not a bad thriller/mystery, but I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it if it wasn't for the location.

This is good. I know, I know, what sort of a review is that? But I've sat and tried to think of a review, I've even started three times, and I really don't know what else to say.
This is the first Brian Freeman book I've read and I am off to read another. I like the way he tells a story, slowly revealing each new piece of information. I'd say it was like peeling an onion but it isn't. More like eating your way through a box of chocolates without any clue what is inside the box. Each new chapter is wrapped in a tasty layer of chocolate but the filling is a surprise. Yes, I can't believe I've just used that analogy either.
Let's leave it at...I am going through a murder/mystery phase at the moment and I loved this book. My one problem (oddly) was with the detective. The story was great, him not so much. So, next Brian Freeman will not be a Cab Bolton story.

This book was amazing! It isn't something I would normally pick up so I was really surprised that I liked it so much (it's not a genre I typically read). I will definitely be checking out more books by this guy!

having been to Door County a couple of years ago I was familiar with the names of towns and we'd been on Washington island, which was kind of neat. Was never quite sure who to believe or not. Didn't all come together til the end. A very good book!
