Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 7, 2014
From the first line to the very last, this book had me on edge, not wanting anything in the real world to interrupt my time with this incredible story. Starting out with Charles Dugan basically watching his whole life go up in flames, the reader is caught up in the whirlwind of his mind as he tries to figure out what to do next. Ellen and Brian from the Missing Persons Hotline are called in to help find Dugan and clear up the mess and mystery has he has left behind. They uncover a world of gambling and mean loan sharks out for blood. I read a lot of mysteries and Comley is one of the only authors who can still keep me guessing on who the bad guy is. This book is crazy with twists and had my jaw on the floor I was so surprised by the ending.As always with Comley's books, intertwined with the mystery is a wonderful personal story involving the main characters. This book takes off where the first book, Sole Intention, left us (even though I don't think you need to read the first book before you read this second one). Ellen is dealing with her estrangement from her mother and her abusive stepfather and is busy in her role as a single woman managing her own business. There is a wonderful balance of the two, the mystery and personal life, and they play off each other seamlessly. That is one of the many things I love about M.A. Comley's books is the way the different aspects of the storylines come together in just the right way.Comley has been one of my top favorite authors for a while, and she gets better with each book she writes. If it were possible to give this book more than 5 stars, I would give them to her. As of my review right now, all that are here are 9, 5-star reviews. Great stuff!
