The story tells an involved tale of two sisters coming of age in the late seventies in Marin County, California. The girls live in the foothills of the mountain where women are being murdered. The girls father is the lead detective of the crime that is happening literally in their back yard. The story is based on a real serial killer that has been named, "The Trailside Killer". The story explores the family dynamic as well as two girls living thru it all. I loved the investigation as well as the girl's involvement and the relationship they share. There were a few twists and turns at the end that may have been predictable to some, but caught me off guard.
The fact of the matter is: I am much too much of an emotional reader to give a real review. This is why I rarely have the confidence to do it. I seem to connect to the characters and give lots to leeway to the actual plot. Also, I am attracted to stories involving sisters and their dynamics.
Giving my inadequacies, it's got to be enough to simply say, I loved it!
Read any good books lately? Let me know about it!!

I loved it IS a good review!
The relationship of sisters sounds great, Jodi ~ I love this aspect, even though serial killer books tend to creep me out.
