Fist of all the review was amazing! Now about the book I admit that sounds mysterious and touching, I am a sensible person so it's going to be interesting see how the story will end, but definitely I wil read it and recommend it later

Great review. This story sounds like a very soul-wrenching story full of the curve balls many of us must face in life.

The book sounds interesting, all the more because of the review. I'm curious to see for myself how well the story is written keeping in mind the comments of the reviewer.

I have found the new mystery writer for me! June Ahern has done it again! Another hit, another super book! This is the second book June has written that is about the 1960s. She has incorporated all aspects of the times. ?

Another one of those subtle hard hitting potrayal of a young mom who have lost her son to her irresponsibility, and how she grieves about it is everybody could relate it to

Fantastic and informative review! I enjoyed the sample as well. Too bad the author does not go into more detail regarding the scenes. However, this does not seem like a deal breaker.

Hmm your comments about the writing style make me wonder if maybe this is not the book for me, tho the main locale and topics sound intriguing. I guess I can't know unless I read it for myself

A suspenseful novel about lies, betrayal, murder, and redemption is quite mysterious and exciting to read. Congrats on a well written review!
