This is an excellent thriller. It's about former residents of an upscale mental health facility for suicidal patients who are gradually being killed off several years after being released. It also manages to mix in a little romance that heightened the story line without evoking the cringe factor most romantic thrillers usually give. Being a regular murder mystery aficionado I managed to predict the murderer but more out of instinct rather than failure of the author to "deceive" the reader. She always manages to make you doubt every suspicion you have by always inserting some clues that would help mislead you until the very end. Mary Burton has definitely improved her writing style as I made a mistake of borrowing an earlier book after being impressed with this one. Very disappointing, I should say. Hence, I urge readers to stick to her later works .
