Robin Caroll takes you on a mysterious journey through a young woman’s brutal attack and an emotional ride to recovery as this crime drama draws the reader closer to discovering the reason for such a horrid act. This novel is for mystery, crime drama, and book sleuths wishing for an enjoyable challenge that is not easy and automatic to develop a conclusion. The discussion questions at the end of the novel is a welcoming addition including a sample of Jodie Bailey’s Quilted by Christmas.
