Reviews
In her mid-30s and married with children, Aly struggles to overcome the fears and misplaced guilt resulting from the trauma of finding her mother and brother murdered when she was ten. The youthful voices of Aly and her brother, Cliff, ring with an intelligence reminiscent of J.D. Salinger's precocious latchkey children. A few overwritten passages and some stock characters and situations calculated to raise specific reader responses mar the work slightly. On the whole, however, the author is adept at creating tension and avoiding the dangers of sensationalism that makes this, her literary debut, a real page turner.
