Just as soon as I catch my breath here..I don't usually read mysteries but was interested in this because I live in Missouri where the story is set. It's been a long time since I have read anything this gripping, so much so that I was reading on my Kindle as it was charging! There are already plenty of reviews here that discuss the story etc so I will just say that this is a great book and I can already see the movie.
