Emotionally Wrenching

Baxter Clare's writing is not for the faint-hearted. But if you're looking for a compelling story, this is a literary roller coaster ride. The chilling plot and its gritty, honest characterization kept me glued to my seat wondering if we were going to reach the last page in one piece. Whew. Although I've read the other books in the series, this is the one that made me realize the exceptional talent of the author. I hope she's a fast writer because I can hardly wait for the next book.

Moving, desperate , and still sympathetic

'The saga of "Frank" continues. She continues to show us her demons while being one helluva good detective and lieutenant. The demon alcohol has never been protrayed so deadly. Can't wait for the next installment! Baxter Clare is one of the best writers (period!) in the mystery genre.
