This book sucked which is why I kicked it to the proverbial curb when I got to 40 pages in.

She works at the California Bureau of Investigation (think of a state office set up like the FBI) and is about to interrogate a man who murdered a family decades earlier (Daniel Pell). Pell is seen as similar to […]
