K...Tara, exactly! That part of it was frustrating.<br /><br />Kathy, I hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to your review!<br /><br />[SPOILER ALERT]<br />Ti, I must admit I don't agree with the idea that resolution would have been too pat. Isn't that the point of mystery novels? It's certainly why I read them. I want resolution! Instead, it felt like the whole backstory was a tease and hey, maybe French didn't know where to go with it and that's why she didn't write it? It was a let-down. Having said that, I definitely plan to read the second book! (Despite the spoiler warning I included before this comment, I can't bring myself to say too much about the plot so publicly!)<br />[END OF SPOILER WARNING]<br /><br />Jo-Jo, I guess I feel like my review is mixed too (did it not come across as mixed?), but I still recommend the book!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-12900113825055316792009-04-15T17:48:00.000-04:002009-04-15T17:48:00.000-04:00I'm glad to hear that you liked this one.

It felt a bit unfinished towards the end but you know what... realistically, it would have been too "pat" if Rob's case was solved by the end. <br /><br />I know the second book, The Likeness deals with Cassie but does not revist Rob so since you liked Cassie, you will probably like the second book. I have yet to read it myself but plan to at some point.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-76331845400115556322009-04-15T11:27:00.000-04:002009-04-15T11:27:00.000-04:00This is in my TBR pile - glad to see it's good.This is in my TBR pile - glad to see it's good.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-26742929405818397842009-04-15T10:57:00.000-04:002009-04-15T10:57:00.000-04:00I liked this too, but also wished the ending was m...I liked this too, but also wished the ending was more complete.
