Cheating husband, Hal Abbott, wants to kill his wife. With a body double and an elaborate plan, a Mr. Smith offers to help him, but leaves the cleanup to Abbott. With the police closing in, things start coming apart...and then there's the sighting of his should-be-dead wife heading back to town. What really happened and who really did it?

This type of book is wonderful for people who like thrillers and suspense-type books. It's also perfect for people who want a great, but short read. It's only 50 pages.

I especially liked the tension I constantly felt with the main character, Abbott. I wasn't sure if I should root for him or not, but watching the police get ever closer was thrilling.

I didn't like how long the book was. I enjoyed it so much, I just wanted the story to go on and on and on... I'd also prefer a little less cursing, but in reality, if it were me, I'd be cursing too!

When I finished this book, I wanted to read more of Keiko Alvarez's books. She's a great thriller writer!

This book made me feel excited and concerned for the characters. I was also dying to know who did what at the end. My curiosity was killing me. I had part of it figured out, but not all and that's impressive as I'm usually pretty good at guessing these things.

Keiko Alvarez is a talented writer who knows how to bring tension to a story. I really enjoy her thriller books.

I recommend this book because it's a short read (for those with short attention spans), but it's very exciting. With my own short attention span, I wanted the book to last longer. I think that says a lot about the book.
