Summary: A must read! Fantastic!
Comment: I've been a big fan of Ms. Robards for years. This is her best book yet! I loved every character--Tony, Grace & Jessica were all real, and I wished I really knew them! I didn't want this book to end, but I couldn't put it down--I read it in 4 hours! Don't hesitate-buy this book!

Summary: Suspense builds
Comment: In the beginning, I found Grace a bit annoying. On one hand, she was obviously a caring mother, but on the other hand, it took her too long to realize she was her daughter's parent, not her friend. And at first, her mother's intuition did sound paranoid, but Robards did a good job of building it. I liked the relationships in the book, and especially liked the plot twist at the end. A good read.

Summary: Irritating book!
Comment: I had several problems with this one:
Grace is a juvenile court judge whose daughter is out of control. Grace's solution is to keep grounding Jessica, which is pointless since her daughter ignores her and sneaks out anyway. Gee, Judge Grace, has the word "counseling" ever been used in your courtroom?
Tony has a bad opinion of Grace from the second he meets her, accusing her of child neglect etc. with no basis at all. Why?
Grace is prissy and very controlling. Grace and Tony were such complete opposites that I didn't see an attraction and can't imagine a relationship between them.
I understand that a woman would want to do anything to protect her child. But I didn't like Grace using her position as a judge to get special favors. I live in Columbus; it's a large city and certainly not crime free. Yet Grace had a forensics team at her house over a teddy bear. Then she got police protection for her daughter, including a cop to follow her to school. Even thought she felt the threats were against her daughter she intimated they were against her and threatened to call the DA if her case wasn't given top priority and she got everything she wanted. Considering she's part of the judicial system she might have realized that just because it's her daughter doesn't mean she's any more deserving of these special favors as any other child or crime victim in the rest of the city.
