Page turner Wow! Just wow! Jewell has done it again: created a twisty ,complex drama out of seemingly ordinary lives, the plot tangling and writhing like a terrible cancer so the reader doesn't know who to believe of trust. And what an ending. Highly re ...more |

What lies within An extraordinary story that is even more compelling when one reads the author's note at the end of the book to discover it is based on fact. We can never truly know what goes on inside another's mind: what makes them tick or not. We d ...more |
