On a warm August night in 1980, six college students sneak into the dilapidated ruins of Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary, looking for a thrill. With a pianist, a painter and a teacher among them, the friends are full of potential. But it’s not long before they realize they are locked in—and not alone. When the friends get lost and separated, the terrifying night ends in tragedy, and the unexpected, far-reaching consequences reverberate through the survivors’ lives. As they go their separate ways, trying to move on, it becomes clear that their dark night in the prison has changed them all. Decades later, new evidence is found, and the dogged detective investigating the cold case charges one of them—celebrity chef Jon Casey— with murder. Only Casey’s old friend Judith Carrigan can testify to his innocence.
But Judith is protecting long-held secrets of her own – secrets that, if brought to light, could destroy her career as a travel writer and tear her away from her fireman husband and teenage son. If she chooses to help Casey, she risks losing the life she has fought to build and the woman she has struggled to become. In any life that contains a “before” and an “after,” how is it possible to live one life, not two?
My Thoughts:
Lets see, where to begin?
Ah yes the beginning of course, so I will be honest, I judged a book by its cover, instead of the contents. Now this wouldn't be such a horrible thing if the content of the book was better than the cover. The character building was decent as was the world building. I slaved through half of this book just wanting it to end. Then I got to the end and I found my self wondering what happened. The biggest problem with this book was the feeling of in completion at the end. There where parts of it that where too drawn out and then there were parts not drawn out enough. Overall i found this boring and unsatisfying,
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
