What an incredibly suspenseful  read this was!  Although I did not see the ending coming, and had to go back and read parts again, I think this is a definite five star.  The author is incredibly talented to be able to keep the reader engrossed from beginning,  right through to the end.The story starts with the main character Kevin, being woken up from a nightmare, by his wife, Allie.  Allie is concerned about Kevin  and insists that he see a  referred psychologist, if not for himself, then for her.  The referral had come directly from a partner in the law firm he practiced with.  This stems  from Kevin been forced to shoot and kill two men who had entered his house through an unlocked door in his basement where he had fallen asleep on his “man-cave couch”.  A divorce lawyer by trade, Kevin had never intentionally  killed anything other than a wasp prior to that night.Kevin is deemed a hero in the press and reluctantly agrees to appear on a talk show,  and although most callers phoned in to  praise him, “Jim from Mebane” first questioned his “little tale”, then basically insinuates that he had fabricated the whole thing.Kevin does make an appointment with a shrink, because he questions the fact that he felt no remorse but was unprepared  when, after recounting the events that night, the shrink also questions his story.This is where the story really gets going and becomes impossible to put down.  If you are looking for an incredibly suspenseful read,  I highly recommend this book!
