Once again a well written book. Yes this Author can write, which is why I have continued to read her books. But I believe this one may be my last. I am glad that I read them out of order, as this was the prequel to "Moonstar", a much less depressing book.I usually don't give spoilers. I don't like when other reviewers do. But I believe this is less of a spoiler than it is more of a warning. If you absolutely hate spoilers as well, have no intention of heeding my warning, read no further.That said ...The synopsis for the book says "the lengths we go for those we love" ... Ummm no. As someone who was a caregiver to their Gramma with Alzheimer's, I found the Character / Murderer Grace, a selfish, intolerable, ungrateful woman, who would rather kill her own Mother than disconnect her phone. Her Mother, who cared for her, her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, family pets and now that she needed them to help her, oh she's a bother. Let's put her down. It's humane. Really? Because ... She's in pain? Has cancer? No. She doesn't know where she is and gets confused. Well I hope I never stray into this authors neighborhood, as there are times I also get confused, but I believe I still have a few more years left on me.
