You're captured from the start... but the killer isn't!

There are very few books that will truly grab you from the very first page but Rebecka Vigus found a way. The story begins with murder and continues to pull you in with questions and half-answers about the mystery at hand.

A beloved, very plain and ordinary librarian is found dead is a small Detroit suburb that rarely finds anything more exciting than their local drunk in the newspapers. From the first page where they begin with finding the body, to the last page where you hope they've found the answers, the author keeps your attention fully.

Written in a text that is very different and somewhat "large" helps make the read not only easier physically but mentally as you truly feel like you're reading something real from someone's notebook. You almost feel yourself being brought into this small town and bit by bit finding out information that amazes you.

Nothing is what it seems, the past is definitely not what it seemed and the future is truly in question as one of the main characters, Constable Buck Wise, weaves his way through a series of discoveries.

A great read, well presented and thrilling enough to keep your attention from the beginning, Rebecka Vigus manages to present a thriller that truly is entertaining and enjoyable. Thrill readers of most ages from young adult to the very old can enjoy sitting back and reading a clean, well presented thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat until you close it. The ability to keep your attention without blood, gore and non-stop sex makes this mystery even more enticing to those looking for something exciting but not too intense.

I think Ms. Vigus has captured the essence of a modern day Agatha Christie without all the pomp and circumstance. Grab it today, read it quickly and hope she comes out with another one soon!
