Josephine M Moore,
What a book!This was a marvelous story of compassionate characters from the crusty Vietnam vet and a mysterious eighteen year old girl along with Nick and his immediate and extended family。 Not only was this an intriguing mystery but a well written study of gallantry。 Mr。 Benigno does not disappoint with the third book in the series and I can hardly wait for the fourth!

Janice Frye,
MisThe characters were mostly well developed, I think Mia needs a little more work however a very interesting storyline development
Elizabeth Sallee,
This is a very interesting novel, and first because in reading it I thought I was reading a 'true crime' story。 It isn't, or at least I hope it isn't。 Disturbing at every turn, and not for the weak due to the graphic content as it nears the end。 Well done。 This is a very interesting novel, and first because in reading it I thought I was reading a 'true crime' story。 It isn't, or at least I hope it isn't。 Disturbing at every turn, and not for the weak due to the graphic content as it nears the end。 Well done。 。。。more
