At sixteen Shannon Bliss was abducted, now eleven years later she turns up in the hall outside private investigator, Matthew Dane's hotel door with a crazy story about being coerced into assisting the Jacoby crime family. A normal life is all that Shannon desires, but she has a list, a list of things she must do to set things right and Dane is determined to help her.
Perhaps I was expecting this novel to be a thriller, and it certainly sounds like a thriller, but it isn't, which left me disappointed. When I examine it as a different genre, such as a survival-faith book, I can appreciate how deeply the author understands the complexity of her characters as well as the intricacy of the plot. Over all it is a well written novel within that context, just don't expect a suspenseful thriller and then you won't be disappointed.
