This is the first thriller by my favorite author Nalini Singh. She usually writes romance, but she really knocked this out of the park.

The air of unease that permeates the whole read was great. It really had me questioning the intentions of every character you meet. Perhaps the killer should have been obvious but I am new to the genre and the book kept me guessing the entire time.

I always enjoy Nalini Singh books, she’s probably one of my favorite authors and this is an excellent murder/mystery novel. If you like Nora Roberts’ mysteries like The Search, you’d enjoy this.

This was recommended to me as a mystery romance and it is way more of a mystery. I would not categorize it as a typical romance.

The miscarriage is mentioned but does not take place on page. It is mentioned more often than once and that is why I put it as moderate.
