Meanwhile, his conflicted feelings toward the soon-to-be-divorced town councilmans wife, Darcie Squier, continue to simmer under the surface and threaten to undermine his focus and cloud his judgment. But hes well aware he needs to keep his faculties razor-sharp if hes to solve the riddle of whether the cases in D.C. and the Eastern Shore are linked - or is he dealing with not one monster, but two?

Lawson uses the gothic features of the abandoned Opera House to great effect, creating an atmospheric background for the crimes and the solving of them, all of it accompanied with music thats almost like another character. The pace never sagged and it kept me enthralled. - Long and Short Reviews
Lawsons book was so good, I read it twice from beginning to end...The citizens of Cape Unity are as diverse and multi-layered as any person living in the large cities, and Lawson portrayed them splendidly. - Readers Favorite Reviews
