When Danny gets home, there is a murder at the mines which brings him to the center of the investigation. The present day issues with the miners and the "rich" owners of the mines collides with Danny's past, his sister's murder, and his mother's involvement..
What I Thought Of It: I sometimes get nervous reading a new novel by a favorite author because I'm afraid it won't measure up. That was not the case here. I enjoyed this new story and found it quite a satisfying read. As with all her novels, the plot moves along quickly with lots of twists and turns. A favorite aspect of this story was the relationship between Danny and his grandfather. The grandfather was there for Danny during his dark days as a young boy and never stopped being there. The story kept me on the edge of my "spring break lounge chair" and the surprises kept coming and coming.
Who Should Read It: If you have read other Tawni O'Dell novels, then you must read this newest one. If you have not experienced a Tawni O'Dell book, then I highly recommend you do so. All of her novels are completely engaging. Her novels are for adult readers and fiction lovers. Give them a try. I know you won't be disappointed. Happy Reading!
