This was really good. Lisa Jackson is a phenomenal author, who creates spellbinding stories that offer up twists and turns that you would not believe! Honestly, I can figure out the story ending to most mystery books. But Lisa Jackson twists when I expect her to go straight, and the ending is always good.

I really want to say more but I can't spoil a really great read.

3.5 stars.

It would have been a 4, but I knocked it down a half for two things:

Spoiler

1) complete inconsistency regarding the original victim, who the other girls in her set (and who would know better?) don't remember sleeping with other guys besides her boyfriend, but who at some point magically morphs in one officer's description as someone who was rumored to have "had several boyfriends and used one against the other"; and 2) our heroine's apparent and disappointing (to me, at least) decision, after she has her baby at the end, to put her whole life on hold, quit the job she supposedly loves, and stay home to be a full-time mommy.
