A read that was hard to put down. Worry about who can and who can't be trusted right to the end. Drugs, romance and plenty of action along with a feeling of being part of Allison's life made me want to read more. A story I wish hadn't finished... would love to know the next stages of Allisons journey to a better life.

Its a warm and delightful story,that has Allison in your heart at the first chapter.Lynette has the capacity to make the reader identify with some of the hopes and dreams of the main character and she managed to spice it up with a drug ring operation continuing through the story .A good holiday read.

If, thankfully, you are not in Allison’s marital situation yourself, chances are you know someone who is, so do them a favor by recommending this mighty book. Lynette Hedrick has superbly crafted into this thrilling detective novel a practical blueprint on how to escape an abusive and/or loveless marriage. Passion, betrayal, friendship and deceit are played out across suburban New Zealand, the American Military’s Antarctic Base in Christchurch and corporate America. A cast of genuine characters struggle to understand or evade circumstances as their lives are increasingly enveloped by or involved in the illicit drug trade . The twists and turns made for an exciting read and Lynette brilliantly left an unexpected revelation until the end which left me hopeful that there is more to come for this multi-talented author, much more.

My goodness I can't believe I have finally read this. Waoooow what a story - fanastic & fullbodied. I thoroughly enjoyed. I took this with me everywhere on my laptop and sneaked in reading even while I was for the children to come out of school. Now...what is next.
Well done Lynette

Now here is a pacey story. Intrigue, betrayal, and ultimately resolution. Alison jettisons a life of hurt and disappointment. It is a roller coaster ride, with some sharp set-backs ahead to thwart her hopes.
The cover picture, painted by the writer, portrays Alison. Often impulsive, sometimes confused, she retains her elegance, poise and vivaciousness.
Lynette's first novel gives us a taste of more excitement ahead, with her next book.

I also sat up till the small hours of the morning to finish it so I could pass it on to a friend that I new would benefit and grow from it.
Once again well done.

A talented author and artist - a book that is hard to put down once started. As other reviewers have commented, the author has the fantastic ability for setting details of a scene as well as description of characters.
I can not wait for the next book....

Brilliant read! An excellent combination of mystery and crime across two countries. The author depicts both the scenery and her characters with great care and detail. This is a good modern story about a woman's plight against the odds. Once you pick it up you'll find it hard to put down.

I really enjoyed this book set in New Zealand. It's well written, the story moves at a fast pace and illustrates how a persons life can progress very quickly from bad to terrible. A good read I recomend it.

An awesome book. Very hard to put down when you start reading as the book is truly sensational.
Lynette has great imagination and so nice she has set the scene in Christchurch, New Zealand, our beautiful Country.

Readers will quickly notice the author’s talent for setting details of a scene. An enviable ability. It is an area where, when writing stories, I have experienced much difficulty so I appreciate the skill when I see it an author. Lynette plainly showed from the start that the main character had a bundle of trouble. As the story progressed she effectively projected the threat of unimaginable problems ahead.
