There is something so lulling in the rhythm of the writing by author, Cheryl Bradshaw, that puts me at ease and sucks me in to the story immediately. It's so uncharacteristic of "thrillers" or "crime dramas"; it's refreshing. And so you read along and see Gigi trying to figure out the mystery ... and then WHAM! The story starts hitting you in the face, and you turn the pages as fast as you can. Alas! You will still be surprised at how it all turns out. Now THAT is a great story with fabulous writing by Cheryl Bradshaw. I'm salivating for the second book already!
