Review by Library Journal Review

In her latest outing (after Moving Target), amateur sleuth Ali Reynolds is drawn into two complicated domestic dramas. First, her daughter-in-law Athena asks her to assist her grandmother Betsy, who believes someone has tried to kill her in her own home. Then Ali is summoned by her longtime friend Sister Anselm to help identify and care for a young girl who was injured and gave birth while on the run from a polygamous cult. Even with two seemingly disparate stories, Jance brings all the threads together into one narrative. There are some unnecessary and loquacious sections designed to catch the listener up on past story lines, but otherwise this is a solid addition to the Ali Reynolds franchise. -VERDICT Well performed by Karen Ziemba, this will appeal to Jance's fans and those interested in similar stories by Karin Slaughter, Lisa Scottoline, Iris Johansen, and Tami Hoag.
