3.5 stars, rounded up

I have really enjoyed some of this author’s other books, but I wasn’t wholly invested in this one. Maybe I’ve read too many legal thrillers recently, or maybe I’ve simply been away from this author for too long.

The characters were well-drawn, and I liked Shelly, the MC. She’s a strong, independent woman who believes kids deserve a second chance, and who doesn’t let her past overwhelm her future. Some of the law enforcement personnel made me uncomfortable, although I know there are officers out there like them.

There were a lot of twists and turns in the story, with the surprise ending found in so many thrillers. I will read more of this author’s work and hope that this particular book was a one-off.
