4 1/2 Stars!!A totally gripping, on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller with an outcome that I never suspected until the lead character, Sally, did.When Sally's husband Jake gets involved with a reclusive, extremely wealthy man, they think their luck has finally turned around.  Mr. Kroger has agreed to hire Jake and has him jet setting all over the world.  Jake meets Mr. Kroger in the Catskills, is then sent to Miami, and then, according to Sally, Jake just disappears.  Mr. Baum assures her that all is well; Cyrus Kroger just sent Jake to check on operations in Central Africa.  When Jake finally resurfaces in the states, not only is Jake ill but Mr. Kroger has passed away.  Jake has had a nervous breakdown and eventually Sally is allowed to fly to Miami to see him and then bring him home.  Unfortunately, the man she picks up from the clinic is not the same man she married.  Oh he looks the same and talks the same but their relationship stays at arms length.A few weeks later it's revealed that Mr. Kroger revised his will shortly before his death and left everything to Jake and Sally.  They are now extremely wealthy individuals.  After Jake cruelly sells the home that Sally loves and she begins unpacking books for the new library, she finds something that turns up the suspicions shes been trying to keep on the back burner.  It is now that she starts piecing various clues together and what she finds certainly puts her life on the line.There is a lot of background information provided throughout the book which made the book seem kind of wordy in parts but you get over that because of all the activity by the characters.  The suspense and revelations made throughout the book kept me totally engaged and completely engulfed in Sally's life.  The characters are all strong and the plot is solid.I can't divulge anything else about the book because I don't like providing spoilers if I can help it.  I'll leave it at this:Buy this book!  You won't be disappointed.You can visit the author, Gervase Shorter, at [...](Book provided at no charge to Sapphyria's Book Reviews by the author in exchange for an honest review)
