This book I read cover to cover....could not put it down until the last word was read!!!!!! Yep, I started it about 2am one night/morning when I couldn't sleep, read until day light and then I was too keyed up to even try to sleep. Put this one on your "must read" list. Our book club has introduced me to books far beyond my favorite light little murder mysteries. I left the intense murder/crime/lawyer type books behind several years ago. Now I want books that make me think, teach me about the world and different cultures or religions, and help me move to the edge of my comfort zone.
