Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I read a whole lot of books each year, and about 75% are within the mystery/suspense/thriller genre. An unfortunate byproduct of reading so many mystery novels is that it's now rare that an author totally surprises me with a twist. Susan Hunter manages to do just that more than once within this book. This story took me places that caught me totally off guard in the most fantastic way. I love Leah's character. She's fabulously flawed and totally human. I especially appreciate that she is a strong and independent female who doesn't need a man to rescue her, fix her, or complete her. All the characters are unique and fun to spend time with. I enjoyed the interplay between them. The relationships and the dialogue feel real. While I love series fiction, I definitely prefer that each story stands on its own, and this book absolutely does. The major plot is resolved, with no cliffhanger making you feel like you have to read the next book in order to find out what happens. Rather than feeling forced on to the next book, I've been captured and hooked, so I can't wait to read the next one! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Something isn't right at a residential school for troubled teens. When small-town reporter Leah Nash investigates, she discovers just how wrong things are. Unfortunately, the nun who tipped Leah to the story dies before Leah can follow up. Is it an odd coincidence, or is the nun's death linked to the mysterious accident that killed Leah's younger sister, a student at the school, five years earlier?

I enjoyed this. It's a decent procedural with a few slight cozy mystery elements. The plot line is logical and unfolds in a fairly straightforward manner. But the plot and characters lack feeling and are kind of bland. Leah is the strongest character of them all but never really passes brash and stubborn. Her determination to solve her sister is the driving force and while admirable, is also kind of boring. I wanted to know her reasons for being a reporter and her hobbies and interests outside of this one case but they were mostly ignored. Consequently, Leah's relationships with the other characters suffered for it. Her friendship with Miguel had a few sparks, as did her relationship with her mum - but neither managed to distinguish themselves as unique and it was disappointing.
Leah was a bit of a mess. She drove me mad at points. I liked her stubbornness but I also wanted her to stop jumping at every possible lead. She doesn't research and assess - she leaps to a conclusion and refuses to adapt even when she's wrong. It was annoying. But for all Leah didn't budge from her opinion, the clues were revealed to her, allowing the reader to make their own conclusions. I enjoyed the twists the investigation took and was surprised by the who the guilty party was which is always nice. I'll definitely be reading more of this series. 3.5 stars. ( )
