I would recommend this book to people who are 16 and older. Those who like mystery and suspense would really enjoy this book. I would give it 4/5 stars. The book was pretty good but some parts dragged on and didn't always grab my attention.

Eventually Shauna puts all the clues together, with the help of Zach and the police, and they find out all these deaths were linked, including Jack's. Jack's death is a murder instead of an accident.

Conflict #3 (Person vs. Person) : Alex and Marilyn get kidnapped by the murderer. He holds them captive at Marilyn's old cabin. Shauna, Zach, Luis, and Everett, have to give the murderer the necklace that Shauna's mom gave her when she passed away. This was the only way he would give Marilyn and Alex back.

I think the theme of this book is murder doesn't solve problems. Karl, the murderer, killed a lot of innocent people just to get to the bottom of his "problems".

The settings in this book are constantly changing. The main settings are Zach's house, Marilyn's house, and the different crime scenes.

Shauna believes that whoever murdered Jack is out to get her and Alex. Zach tells Shauna that he thinks it's best if they move in with him and Shauna only agrees for the safety of her and her son. While living with Zach, other murders occur and Shauna's house ends up getting broken into and trashed. While going through the trashed items in her home, she finds a clue on Jack's cell phone that will help lead to the murder. Eventually Shauna, Zach, and Everett find Marilyn and Alex at the cabin. They happen to catch the murderer with his mask off so they were able to recognize him as their old friend Karl. He was confessing to Marilyn that he wanted Shauna's necklace to sell to the Chinese for a fortune. With that money he wanted to fly away with Penelope (the girl who he was dating while still married) and leave his family behind to start a new life. He is arrested. Finally, in the end, Zach and Shauna get married.
