Autumn likes to like stuff on the Internet (who doesn’t?)…and she soon becomes obsessed with one particular family–the McMullins. She likes them for several reasons: 1. Daphne McMullin is the perfect mother. 2. The McMullins in general, are the perfect family and 3. Daphne McMullin adopted Autumn’s baby girl at birth in a closed adoption.

But…I had already purchased the book and so I decided that eventually I would get to it. After reading The Kind Worth Killing I realized that I’ve been missing suspense and mystery in my life. Soooo…I turned to The Woman […]
