My title says pretty much how I feel about this book. The author has done an extremely good job in bringing true life to her characters. In other words, her characters could be anyone we know in real life. Some authors show their characters as living the perfect life with the perfect mate, with the perfect house and the perfect kids... you get the idea. Other authors don't give their characters a humanity. Celina Grace does and it pays off in the depth of her story.DS Kate Redman is new and finds herself investigating a kidnapping of the son of a wealthy man and his eye candy wife. Charlie Fullman is only 3 months when he is kidnapped. his aloof father barely reacts. his mother falls to pieces. As Kate and her fellow officer Mark Olbeck work the case, the amounts of secrets, lies, and emotional difficulties they uncover in their investigation will boggle your mind.The story is well written, true to life, and spell binding. The story is easy to follow and understand. The characters are just so well written it is amazing. The characters have many twists and turns in their emotional baggage. Kate and her partner work hard to get to find Charlie. Kate does some curing of her own emotional things as she works.For those who hate sex scenes in their stories, there are none. For those who love to delve into the inner working of the human mind and the emotions people carry, boy is this the book for you.Enjoy!
