Novel but Nice

I Know Where You Live by Pat Young My rating: 4 of 5 stars A fast, thrilling read! I just finished I Know Where You Live by Pat Young and I enjoyed this book so much! This book is a very plot-driven, quick read. Once I started, I had a hard time putting the book down because there truly weren't any slow points where I was waiting for the story to move forward.
