This is one of Lisa Gardners' earlier works and and involves FBI profiler Pierce Quincy with local deputy Rainie Conner.
They investigate an unspeakable act at a local junior school which has ripped apart the idyllic town of Bakersville, Oregon.
But athough a young boy - Danny - has confessed to the horrific crime, evidence shows he may not be guilty.
The town is divided and the body of evidence looks like Danny was the perp.
It details the complexity of Raine's character - a former alcoholic, a mother who was also an alcoholic and a loose woman to say the least (!) and reputedly mudered by her daughter.
Pierce Quincy is also a man with some dark secrets so the chemistry between these two characters is explosive!
I was absolutely gripped and didn't spot the person who did it - at all.
Although it's not quite as simple as this!
It's a great book and I'm a big fan of this genre and think that Lisa Gardner is underrated.
She's right up there with Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs IMO.
Lisa Gardner has also written under the name of Alicia Scott.
These are romantic novels but these books have a distinctly different feel from Lisa Gardner's core works.
They are kinder, less violent and a conatin a great deal more romance.

Unputtdownable. Couldn't wait to turn the next page. If you are a fan of Lisa Gardener you won't be disappointed!

Format:Paperback
The book opens with a school shooting and an inexperienced small town policewoman in charge. I found the lead character tedious in her relentless anger and dysfunctional behaviour. I felt that Ms Gardner, an especially foul-mouthed writer, is trying to justify the needless police brutality and intrusion into personal privacy that characterises our age, by making her police people's "hunches" always turn out. A boring book. I won't be reading any more by this author.
