Fiction. Thriller. HTML:

When Elise Vanderzell plummets from her bedroom balcony one gorgeous summer night, her children awaken to a nightmare.

Their mother is dead.

Their father is charged with her murder.

Lawyer Kate Lange knows all about nightmares. She's survived the darkest period of her troubled life and the wounds are still raw. Now she's been handed a case that seems utterly unwinnable: defending her boss, high-profile lawyer Randall Barrett. A prosecutor's dream suspect, Randall is a man who was cuckolded by his ex-wife. A man who could not control his temper. A man who had argued bitterly with the victim the previous day in full view of the children.

With limited criminal law experience, Kate finds herself enmeshed in a family fractured by doubt. Randall's teenage son is intent on killing him. His daughter wants only to feel safe again. And the entire legal community would like nothing better than to see Randall receive a public comeuppance. As Kate races to stay a step ahead of the prosecution, a silent predator is waiting for the perfect time to deal the final blow.

Lawyer Kate Lange's been handed a case that seems utterly unwinnable: defending her boss, high-profile lawyer Randall Barrett for killing his wife.

The title suits the book. That it was written at all is indefensible. The reader knows who the killer is right away, so everything else is garbage. ( )

What do you fear? Losing the respect of your peers, losing a parent, getting divorced, being betrayed by someone you thought you could trust, your child becoming a person you don't even recognize, being sent to jail for a crime you didn't commit or something terrible happening to your child? Those fears and more are in this book.

The characters were all so well written that I can't tell you a favorite. I felt their every emotion and was so engrossed that I didn't hear anything that was going on the the rest of the house. No phone, no tv, nada!

About one third the way through the book I thought I knew what had really happened to Elise, but I was so off that when the truth came out I was shocked. I LOVE books like that! The book got better and better as it went along and by the end I could barely go to sleep for wanting to finish it. I did fall asleep around 2:30 am but something woke me up at 5:03 and I couldn't go back to sleep. I kept thinking about the book. So I did what any book lover would do, I started reading again. And finally at 7:30 am I read the last paragraph. And was sad it was over. And that's saying something since I don't usually read anything over 300 pages. Most books I've read over that seem to drag on and on with a lot of rambling nothings. This book has 502 pages. And I loved it, and wanted more. It took me almost a week to even start reading it because I had to talk myself into reading it since it was so long. This just goes to prove you can't judge a book by it's pages.

This is the first book I've read by Pamela Callow but I will definitely be reading more from her. I especially want to read the first in the Kate Lange series, Damaged.

If you haven't read this yet, what are you waiting for? It's GOOD! ( )
