Slightly Disappointed 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

As a huge Barbara Parker fan, I was slightly disappointed by this book; it is my least favorite of her novels for the following reasons: 1. The discussion of Anthony's militant past in his college years -- his radical youth was hardly interesting and was in such great contrast to his present, suave exterior that I found it difficult to reconcile the two. 2. The amount of detail about Cuban politics; I frankly found it confusing and difficult to follow after a while. Parker obviously researched the topic extensively, but there was just so much INFORMATION! It felt like I was back in school after a while.

Believe me, I tried to like this book, because I like Barbara Parker's other books so much, but I just didn't go for it. I would recommend any of the other "Suspicion" books or my favorite, "Criminal Justice." Barbara Parker is a great writer, so don't miss her other books!

Editorial Review:

After turning down a lucrative partnership in a prestigious Miami law firm to start her own business, Gail has become engaged to Anthony--her longtime friend and lover. Embarking on this new life together inevitably opens the door to Anthony's past--a shadowy past containing an unspeakable tragedy. Now, as Gail accepts her first major case, elements from Anthony's past and present come together to threaten his entire family, and endanger his future with Gail.
