This is one of the first books I've read by Mariah Stewart and I really enjoyed it. I was taken by surprise with the eniding. All in all, it was a really good book! :)

So farfetched. I couldn't imagine this one ever happening the way it did. Also, the subplot became way too obvious. How does Reagan not know the connection already?

There was a great cast of creepy potential killers in this one- everyone had something to hide. I enjoyed the angle Stewart came at the case too- from a writer's perspective rather than starring a law enforcement officer.

I added a half a star just for this small paragraph:
THAT is how I like my heroines.
Spoiler
The night was split by an ungodly scream.
Jesus God, Wes prayed, what is he doing to her?
He increased his speed, the screams echoing in his ears. When he reached the boat, he pulled himself up onto the narrow diving platform that ran across the back and lifted himself onto the deck.
Nina stood in the doorway to the cabin, wearing a short tight skirt and high heels, a gun in her right hand, and the microphone for the boat’s radio in the other. On the deck, Kyle Stillman sobbed and writhed, blood pouring from between his hands, which were held to his face.
“What took you so long?” she said without turning around.
Without waiting for a response, she pointed to the radio. “You know how to use one of these? I’m trying to call the Coast Guard . . . “
THAT is how I like my heroines.
