I ordered this book from PaperbackSwap because it kept resurfacing in "books you may like"...which is also how I find friends on Facebook, actually. Apparently, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg is a police detective with the LAPD AND an author. Her work with the police force makes the dialogue and the plot seem pretty authentic, although towards the end I think she threw in 2 too many plot twists. I was ready for this book to be over around page 300. The overall theme is incest with a side of murder. I'm sure that as a police detective, you see all of the family drama represented in this book. But with the 24-hour news cycle replaying the sad and the mad all the time, I didn't need the extra dose of reality that this book brings. Parts of it are very difficult to read - especially considering that I'm sure these things are happening in homes all across America. And there's really nothing any of us can do about it except trust that the police will put a stop to it. I probably wouldn't read it again and I'm not even sure I would pass it on to a friend to read. It has a happy ending, but getting there is grueling.
In the 4th installment of the Carolyn Sullivan series, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg delivers us a shocker and takes us a dark side. While planning her wedding to Marcus, Carolyn learns about her best friend's death. From there, she becomes entangled into a web of lies and deceit and other family secrets. When she becomes the legal guardian of her oldest daughter Jude, she didn't know what to believe between fact and fiction. We watch how emotionally involved she is to the case that pushes her to the limit. She takes her career seriously, while others help her pick up the pieces to this startling dark legal thriller. We see how she unraveled, while trying to keeping it together. This one delivers us a sucker-punch. I wish Nancy Taylor Rosenberg's wrote new books.
