Customer Reviews

Good suspense read.

This is a good book. Not one of the best, but very entertaining. Bay Butler has spent 6 years in prison for a murder she didn't commit.As she was railroaded into prison, she is finagled out. The detective who handled her case, is surprised to see her out. However, HE has always thought she was innocent.You are pretty sure who is involved in the conspiracy, from the start. You don't find out why until a little before the end. There are strong characters but I found the story a little to pat.But it will hold your attention, and fill some time. I did enjoy reading this book. But don't look for any surprise ending.

Myers At Her Best!!

I LOVED this newest mystery/suspense! Ms. Myers has spun a clever, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Great characers and a plot that keeps you riveted is my kind of read. Can't wait to see what unique story she comes up with next. I guarantee each one is different. What a talented writer!

Good romantic suspense!

Bay Butler's character grabs you from the start because she has spent six miserable years in prison for a crime she didn't commit. And the detective who helped put her there has suffered right along with her because he came to realize before the trial was even over that Bay was innocent. This story couldn't miss.I recommend it.
