Summary & Review:
An airliner crashes into an L.A. area apartment building killing all on board and many residents of the complex. After a tip off from her parents, LAPD detective Peter Decker discovers that Rosanne Dresdent, a flight attendant for the airline, was not actually killed in the accident as originally reported. But, if Rosanne wasn't killed in the plane crash, where is she and who do the unaccounted for bones from the crash site belong to?

I think I liked this book better than the one I read by Kellerman's husband, Jonathan Kellerman (Obsession (#48)). The plot was entertaining and it was just a good criminal mystery who-dunnit. The only drawback was that when the case was finally solved it wrapped up in a couple of paragraphs. After reading over 400 pages of build-up, it was a little unsatisfying to see it all finished so abruptly.
Rating: 6.0
