Review: This book was amazing! Could not put it down - great use of language and sensitively tackled a very difficult subject matter. Maggie Ryan is a multi-faceted character and I can't wait to read her next story. Congrats to Susan McBride on a job, very well done!

Summary: Great first "published" book by Susan McBride.
Review: Thoroughly enjoyed Susan's book and feel sure she will develop a following that will anxiously await her next Maggie Ryan book, just as we look forward to Cornwell, Grafton, and a number of other series authors. Congrats and Good Luck, Susan!

Summary: You'll be a fan of Maggie Ryan before you're done.
Review: Unlike many first books this one is a polished, mistake free work, tightly written and without any cutesy, undisciplined characters. Susan McBride has an appealing, interesting character in policewoman Maggie Ryan, who leaves a lot unsaid without shutting us out. Not a cozy and not a violence-filled mystery, a lot of readers will find this book a good choice. It shouldn't be wasted on a beach but instead should be saved for late night leisure. We'll all be seeing more of Maggie Ryan in years to come.
