The Canary List

This book was a page turner from the prologue on.  The intrigue and suspense was so intense and I wanted to find out how it would turn out and what was going to happen to my favorite characters, Crockett Grey, a school teacher, living with heartache, and Jamie, a foster child, looking for real love.  It is an extremely bazaar plot and keeps getting more and more bazaar as the book goes on and actually ends on that note.  It's complicated and I was never sure who the true good guys and bad guys were and the end leaves me hanging, not knowing if the characters I love will get there lives restored.  For those of you who love tangled messes and consipracy, this is your book.  For those of you like me who like the relationships and life situations resolved, read carefully.  I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
