I feel like it was a bit slow to start with but the last 1/2 speed up and was much more tense. I didn't like the main character, she needed her own therapy vs giving therapy. I gave it 4/5 stars because it took me a little bit to get into the book and for a mystery book I want it to have my full attention. I could put this book down for several days without feeling like I HAD to finish it. The plot was very good and he writing it excellent I just wanted a faster pace at times.
<spoiler alert!>
At the very begging of the book I had a feeling her father was innocent. I suspected the brother because who else would the father protect!? But I have to say as it went on I started to think it was a copy cat and really thought it was Daniel until the end.
