This author knows how to write... I've enjoyed other books by her and truly enjoyed them. This one didn't do it for me though. It tried too hard with the "out of her element" stuff while knowing lots about the area as though she's familiar with it. Gretchen is a terrible character -- basically destined to be walked all over; it's amazing she survived the book. The ending was a disappointment, since Gretchen's mother should have suspected the culprit from the start. The only living person with the information to suspect him runs off and doesn't tell anyone what she knows? The whole thing was stupid. I suspect the rest of the series gets better -- or it wouldn't exist -- but I won't be reading it. Sorry.... good author, bad book.
