Really enjoyed this story. Gotta say, I guessed why the deed was done. It didn’t matter. I like the writing style & character development I’m reading more from this author 👏👏

There is not much mystery to this "mystery". A young woman going through her recently deceased father's papers discovers that her sister who committed suicide is still alive. Said sister because of a crime is warned to never pick up a…

a light read and interesting to see how a person starts over with nothing

Agree with comment that it’s not great literature, but another page turner for author’s fans to enjoy. Even more twists and turns than some of her others. If you liked it, read the Dream Daughter and CeeCee Wilkes.

The first part of this book wasn’t bad. Riley figuring out how to deal with her father’s house and belongings was a familiar story to me. Lisa starting a new life as a young girl on her own was interesting. Past that point I found the…

A family saga: interesting premise: themes: love, loss, grief, betrayal, redemption: murder, abandonments: all of it comes together-ultimately, the ending was predictable: all this being said, I enjoyed it

I guessed correctly at some of the twists and turns, but enjoyed the characters and and variety of personalities and the inner workings of the minds of those that were a result of traumas they had experienced.

I love reading novels about real-life issues where characters develop as they deal with these issues. This one is well-written; I came to care about the main characters, felt their fears, longings, pain, etc.. The plot seems simple at…

I enjoyed this book. I found myself wanting to find out what happened. Warning!! There's a comment with one star who gives away a big part of the book.

Good mystery. Thought that you got a good understanding of the main three characters - Lisa gone from everyone's life - Riley the sister trying to piece together her family after her father's death - Danny the brother who suffered from a…

Whoa! This is a mystery with a lot of twists and turns. You’ve got to read the entire book to figure out what really happened. This is probably the best mystery of 2016 that I’ve read.

Until I saw this book at the Library (Large Print Section), I had never before come across Diane Chamberlain. Up front: the book is slow starting and I thought "Oh no, not another angst story" but then it splits off between the two main…

Found I had to read a bit to really get into the story. When the relationship was revealed between the sisters , I was able to quickly piece it together in my mind how it could have happened before it was revealed. For the most part, the…

This is the first book I've read by this author and I couldn't put it down. The plot twists and characters are fascinating, but I did find the ending was a bit of a letdown. Also, it wasn't made clear why the brother's anger with the…

I have been a fan of Diane Chamberlain for quite some time. Her works are page turners. This was a great book

a convoluted mystery/romance with thin characters and a simplistic ending.

I did enjoy this book. It kept me interested all the way through. The story was of a young woman who loses her father & has to pack up the family home. This is about when she learns, that just about everything she knew about her entire…

This was a page turner! I could hardly put it down. Totally encourage any one to read it. I had not up to this point read anything by this author and I intend to go through her list now - book by book!

It took me a couple of days to get into it... but after I got past a few chapters, I literally couldn't put the book down.I found myself read for 7 hours straight through the night to get to the bottom of the story.

This is a quick, easy read that keeps you turning the pages. A young woman cleaning out the home of her recently deceased father uncovers a rat's nest of lies & secrets that directly affect her & her brother. For about 3/4 of the book, I…

Twisty story of a woman who finds out her dead sister may not really be dead. Although this isn't great literature, it certainly is a very entertaining read.
