Intrigue, betrayal, and ultimately resolution. Alison jettisons a life of hurt and disappointment. It is a roller coaster ride, with some sharp set-backs ahead to thwart her hopes. <br />The cover picture, painted by the writer, portrays Alison. Often impulsive, sometimes confused, she retains her elegance, poise and vivaciousness. <br />Lynette's first novel gives us a taste of more excitement ahead, with her next book.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">Review by: </span></strong>Nat Kyle on Jun. 11, 2009 : </span><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';color:#333333;font-size:9pt;"></span><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';color:#333333;font-size:9pt;" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><br />Well done to the author this is an amazing story with lots of twists and adventures.

An excellent combination of mystery and crime across two countries. The author depicts both the scenery and her characters with great care and detail.

An enviable ability. It is an area where, when writing stories, I have experienced much difficulty so I appreciate the skill when I see it an author. Lynette plainly showed from the start that the main character had a bundle of trouble. As the story progressed she effectively projected the threat of unimaginable problems ahead. <br /><br />Seattle Reader<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">Review by: </span></strong>vanessa green on Apr. 19, 2009 : </span><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';color:#333333;font-size:9pt;"></span><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';color:#333333;font-size:9pt;" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><br />This book is amazing - I have been up at 4am reading it and cant put it down.
