Gripping murder mystery within the Mormon community. All the 'god-talk' was hard for me as an atheist to take, but due to the setting ,I cannot fault it for that. I really ,really liked Linda, the bishop's wife. I had to admire the good sense that she and two of her sons showed in the ability to see that their god does not even protect innocent children in this life, despite the malarkey that is preached to the contrary about god's love and power, and being in control! The story immediately grabbed me, and I felt like it was me seeking the answers, because Linda had exactly the same thoughts ,suspicions and doubts that I would have had. I also would have done the same things she did. I had no idea where this story was going, and the twists and turns were surprising and shocking!This book was an emotional roller-coaster ride. There are characters that I love and characters that I detest, the same as Linda. I normally avoid books that contain some of the elements that this book contains, but I did not see them coming, so I was surprised by them. Since it doesn't go into detail, I was able to finish and do not regret reading this book at all. It does an excellent job of illustrating the vast difference between how men and women are viewed and treated within the church hierarchy not just in Mormonism, but in all religions! Highly recommended for mystery and 'True Crime' readers.
