Synopsis

“A killer of a thriller with a wonderfully human, perfectly rendered heroine at its center….A terrific read.”
—Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and The Given Day “First-rate crime fiction.”—Washington Post (a Best Book of the Year) The raves keep pouring in for #1 New York Times bestselling author Peter De Jong’s Shadows Still Remain.

Goodreads review by Andrea

Really 2.5 stars. Clearly, the author is not a woman and does not have any clue as to what motivates women - so many of the victim's actions made no sense whatsoever. Same goes for the detective and even the dean of NYU. And whatever happened to the victim's geeky boyfriend?? This could have been so......more
