Littlejohn, Emily.

Littlejohn follows A Season To Lie with another intricately plotted procedural that captures the story as seen through Gemma's eyes. This well-developed novel will appeal to fans of Deborah Crombie's "Gemma James" series.

Debut novelist Littlejohn writes with assurance and skill. The story's plotting is sure-footed, and the characters are well developed and believable. Gemma has been hurt but desires a full life, nonetheless. Highly recommended for fans of Susan Dunlap and Tricia Fields.
