Sadly, mass shootings are a big issue these days, so it was interesting to find a book with that as the theme. The story told of the feelings, and reactions of the victims and survivors, particularly detailing the lives of 3 of the survivors, both during and after the event in a way that seemed both real and insightful.
The characters were interesting and compelling, both strong and weak, both confident and hesitant, both negative and positive. The tragedy was a turning point which for most led to purpose in their lives.
The story grabbed me right at the first page and I found it difficult to put the book down. There was mystery, there was crime fighting, there was detecting, there was romance, there were strong women and equally strong men not at odds with one another. All in all, in spite of the subject matter, I really enjoyed this book.
