Ellen Chambers is unable to stop her teenage daughter from marrying an abusive man ten years her senior, and her husband, Scott, refuses to see any problem. So when an attractive man appears at the wedding and tells Ellen it would be easy enough to get rid of her new son-in-law, a small part of her is ready to listen. The would-be helper is her husband's nephew, Neal. He soon demonstrates his ability to accomplish anything he wants, whether it is remodeling Ellen's barn in 12 days or convincing her that he has the perfect way to kill her daughter's new husband. In his second thriller, Kimball (Undone) seduces the reader just as successfully. He has created characters on which we want Neal to wreak his brand of justice, then makes us painfully aware of the finality and horror of that justice. Though he draws the climax out a bit, the story and characters are compelling and believable. Recommended for all public libraries.ÄJane Jorgenson, Madison P.L.-Pinney Branch, WI Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
