This is an amazingly well written book with several plot twists, very well thought out characters; the hero and heroine are so down to earth normal making them very easy to relate to, and a villain who will send chills down your spine.

A very fast paced novel with murder, suspense, along with a touching tale of two people who come together to save a child and fall in love along the way.
