Review of 'She Lies in Wait' on 'Goodreads'

Lately I’ve found it difficult to stick with books, even when they sound like something I would like. This was different. I really, really enjoyed this. It was just very well done. The pace with which information was revealed was just right, and the balance of present-day action with flashbacks to the night of the crime was perfect - so many times such novels get sidetracked by extensive dips into the past that I find distracting and unnecessary. The author included brief glimpses of the crime as it progressed, but only enough to give it a minute-by-minute feel that added to, rather than distracted from the overall story. The most enjoyable thing I’ve read in some time.
