Hannah Griffin was a girl when tragedy struck on her family’s farm. She still remembers the flames reflected against the newly fallen snow and the bodies the police dug up—one of them her mother’s. It was the nation’s worst murder scene in decades and the killer was never found….Twenty years later Hannah is a talented CSI investigating a case of child abuse when the past comes hurtling back. Years of buried questions are brought to life. A killer with unfinished business is on the hunt. And an anonymous message turns Hannah’s blood cold: Your Mom called...“A REAL GRABBER.” —Linda Lael Miller“AN IRRESISTIBLE PAGE-TURNER.” —Kevin O’Brien“A TOP-NOTCH THRILLER.” —Donna Anders

I keep forgetting how much I like Gregg Olsen. He keeps the reader guessing and on the edge of his or her seat. The story is engrossing and encompassing. One is constantly wondering what the actual relationship between characters is-both in relation to each other and to the world at large. And what provides for the evil? How can anyone be so evil?
I really need to examine more of Gregg Olsen's work. I've read several of them, and I always feel that I need more.

This book was like a see-saw to me. Back and forth, up and down. At first it was boring and confusing. Then it sucked me in and I thought it was great. Then back to boring and drawn-out, then exciting, then implausible, and then...the end.

The mystery was pretty solid and could have been fantastic with different characters. Parts of the plot were not necessary or even cohesive, but the idea and setting were interesting. My main beef with this book were the characters. No one was particularly likable and I found myself with no one to root for, no one to care for, and this is a problem when you should be emotionally tied to the main characters and hoping they live. Overall I was let down and while the ending was intriguing it didn't make up for the rest of the plot. More like 2 3/4 stars, but …
