After the sordid events of FEAR NO EVIL, I found myself looking forward to reading about Lucy's life. However, it was incredibly hard for me to relate to he...
This was an entertaining, well-conceived and well-executed mystery. I did guess whodunit before the end, but it wasn't obvious.

Bad news bit number one: she’d gotten two-hundred bucks for it, which wouldn’t get her far in southern California.

He made no move for the gun in his backpack, but hoped Lucy would go for it if the situation warranted. He said, “Hey, what’s with the gun? We’re camping near here, just like you.

Kate and Dillon were still passed out in the bed next to her, but Sean wasn’t there. He hadn’t come back to the room at all.

He surveyed the land but saw no familiar landmarks and no other houses. He had no idea how long they’d flown—they’d left PBM after 11:30 last night, and it was about 6:30 a.m. now.

It was far enough from my crazy mom and dad that I didn’t think about them much. The first year I kept to myself.

Adele Sheldon asked Max. Max was in her room at the Broadmoor, sitting at her desk. She didn’t know what to say—a first for her. “Detective Horn called me,” Adele said, a hitch in her voice. “I knew he was dead, I knew it, but…,” Her voice trailed off on a sob. “Would you like me to drive down an...

Fiona didn’t consider that she had a homeland; she’d spent most of her life travelling across the globe.

He’d never been here before, and he was pleased to see that it was both what he expected — private, tasteful, neat — and what he didn’t expect: open rooms, lots of windows, large garden, and an extensive collection of knickknacks.
