There is not much I can add to what others have said about the top notch quality of this story.  This is my first outing with this author but it won't be my last. Before I strayed into m/m romance a year or so ago, I was a lifelong reader of mystery novels. This book was perfect for me because it contained both.  I got lost in the details of the lifestyle of the wealthy family that had a tragic kidnap of one of their own when he was four year old. I loved and admired the grandfather who wanted, still, to know what happened to his beloved grandson.  I loved the main character, Griffin, a writer who comes to the family home to write a book about that kidnapping twenty years after it happens.  I love the love that bloomed between Griffin and Pierce, the attorney for the family, though they didn't appear to like each other much at first.  Though I suspected some of the outcome of the "solve", I loved every minute getting there and the discovery of the answer to the mystery. The lush descriptive prose made me really "see" the estate and all of the grounds where the story takes place.  I will definitely put this author on my list of must reads to see what else he has to offer.
