I had a hard time finishing this book...Kept hoping it would get better and it never did. I didnt care for the writing style, very juvenile. THe author apparently knew alot about her subject, but she kept repeating the details of the fire over and over. The interaction between the daughter and mother in the story was ridiculous. they just keep hugging each other and telling each other how wonderful they were. The main character kept changing for a hard, driven, foul-mouthed investigator to the perfect, moral upstating citizen and mother who was too soft-heart for this investigation. Did not enjoy this book

The book is a solid and quick read; however, the editing could be improved.

This was well written. It almost seems as if this is a story of which the author has lived through.
Good depiction of small time life. Characters are well developed. The main characters teen daughter is almost too nice, but it is a wonderful change from how most teens are portrayed now.
Worth reading but be prepared to muddle through a few parts. Don't stop reading, it's worth it.

Never read any of Meredith Rae Morgan books but I'll read everything from her for now on.

I felt this book was long and drawn out. I definitely practiced my speed reading here. This book is also not very suspensful which also makes it a long read.

A decent story about good people and how a community deals with such a tragedy. Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed the read.

I enjoyed the book even though it had way too much repitition. Also it had lots of spelling and punctuation errors.

C+ to B-.
Nothing great, nothing horrible. Don't expect Robin Cook as this 473 page book is not suspenseful, nor a thriller, nor a drama. The author should get better with more practice and some talented editing.
I would be surprised if the author didn't work at an insurance company. The story is the detailed account of an insurance claim (fire destroys a restaurant and kills many people) from the point of view of the claims adjuster as she handles this tragedy in her hometown. The book "...is filled with good and decent people who do the right thing when given chance." That includes the protagonist, her teenage daughter, the insurance company's executives, the lawyers, the insured, the FBI, etc. You get the idea.
The characters, except maybe for the protagonist, seem one-dimensional and never seem real. They also don't have distinctive personalities (other than all are good people), nor do they change or progress as the story gets deeper. Everyone and everything in the book is PG-rated or less.
Once I realized what the book wasn't, I enjoyed it more as I wanted to see how it would be able to end well for everyone. And it did. This makes it a bit of a fairy tale, but sometimes I enjoy that pollyana view of life (as the pessimism, cynicism, negativity can get you down).

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.it was a good read if you've ever wanted to see things from the insurance investigators point of view or just learn how the insurance game works this book will give you a clear idea of the process. ms.morgan really did her homework on this one. fair warning though there is no romance or high action thrills just a great paced little mystery
