Very interesting story. Takes a very interesting look at the use of the death penalty. Definitely a page-turner.

Classic MHC. A teenager wrongly convicted of a woman's murder, waiting on death row for his execution in a few days. A grieving widower and son, seeking closure and healing. A psychotic killer who has never been traced to five unsolved murders. Well-written, entertaining, nail-biting.

Though this book does lend itself to continuation of debate on the use of the Death Penalty. Reading the novel makes you feel as if you are sitting on the edge of your seat. The entire book takes place in two days, and are the pace never slackens. You are given the opportunity to see the killers

is fast paced, you feel empathy for all the characters as Clark, brings them all to life with their tales from the past and heart wrenching stories. I could visualise Grand Central Station, from the graphic details. Clark is now on my radar and I look forward to reading more of her books.

Okay so I read this book in 10th grade English class and it took me years and years to find this book again. I ended up needing to find my English teacher on Facebook and ask her for the title. I'm amazed we were allowed to read this in school, but it still holds up well and is suspenseful
