This is a
Kate Springer mystery.
When Kate
sees the body of a murder victim, she immediately recognizes her as her own
self image at 13-years old. What did that mean? Was there a connection? How
freaky!
I must admit
that some of the investigation details were kind of boring. I was far more
interested to find out more about Kate’s abusive past with her child molester.
That guy messed her up so bad that she vowed to find him in case he was
inflicting the same crap on another girl.
“Children
have zero control over their lives. They’re told what to eat, when to sleep,
how to act. As a child, I felt powerless. As an adult, at least, I have the
illusion of control.” (1493)
As the
reader re-lives moment’s of Kate’s abused past, the hunt for Kimberly’s killer
is on. There are several suspects: her boyfriend, her mother…and Kate’s past
nightmare (?) I got hooked! I wanted to know “who dunnit?”
A real
page-turner in the end! An intriguing drama; a probing murder mystery.
My rating: 4 stars
