Dull Little character developmentLittle true suspenseThe near murder and then sexual assault of the heroine was shoved awkwardly into a story about fostering a child with issues.A poor effort from scottoline. "The best Rosario & DeNunzio Novel yet!!" according to BobH.. The presentation of the problems of dyslexic children was great. The explanation of the difference between a biological and legal father was fascinating. As usual the twists and turns in the story line kept me from guessing what was coming next. The frank treatment of a recovered drug addict was very good. I also liked the way Anthony explained marriage responsibilities.. JOHN WHALEN said Last Stop. Probably my last Scottoline book. Getting to soft. Too many variations from book to book.Getting boring.
