Jillian has to find this murderer, before she or someone else innocent gets arrested... especially since the police are undoubtedly on the wrong trail...

Rockin' Review:
This was a pretty good book. It was pretty enjoyable, though it didn't have many moments that just clung onto you. There were a few of those scenes, but they were near the end and scattered a little bit throughout.
Most of the book is like a relaxing read. Many of the characters were well-done, however. And the story was well-written. This includes the mystery angle. Many of the things, questions, and problems were wrapped up nicely.
However, this book could have been done better. Like I said above, there weren't overly too many cling-to-you moments. There were quite a few times where you could leave for a while and not care. This problem, like usual, started to disappear near the end, but even then I could leave it when needed to, and not get back to it for a while. The exception was the last chapters, which made me stay as long as possible until I had the book done.
So, all in all, this book could have been done better... but it was a very good book, and is worth getting when you can find it!
