Another great Scottoline thriller! submitted by mickplu on July 11, 2018, 1:51pm I think Scottoline continues to improve on the woman-focused thriller/mystery. This story involves some elements that I've found to be common in her work: the importance of family, at least one child with a disability (this time it's ataxia) and a trial. For this thriller, the plot was fast-paced and enjoyable despite some unrealistic time elements near the end.
