When her sister who was engaged to Harrison Bennett was found drowned in Mercy Falls California, Olivia knew that something was wrong.

I absolutely enjoyed this book, I read it while sitting in a waiting room, and was so disappointed when the person I was waiting for came out before I finished the last chapter, I had to read it the minute I arrived home. Definitely a great suspenseful story! I was so shocked when I got to the end finding out who was behind it all. Great story! 304 pages US $14.99 5 stars.
