About the Book: The widow of a rich, older man, Paige Sorensen is younger than—and hated by—her stepchildren. And they’re dead set on proving that she forged their father’s signature on his will, which left his entire estate, including the Sorensen Academy for Girls, to her. Claudia admits she’s intrigued by this real-life soap opera, and breaks her first rule: never get personally involved. But she’s grown attached to a troubled Sorensen student—and when disaster strikes, she’ll realize that reading between the lines can mean the difference between life and death…
My Review: I love a good mystery or thriller, so I was excited for the chance to review a book with a unique take on crime by examining handwriting. I do feel as though I learned a lot about what a forensic handwriting expert might do…I had no idea our handwriting could reveal so much about us!
I also really enjoyed the storyline of Claudia taking such a special interest in one of the girls and the faith she had in her.
I found the prose in this book to be a bit simple and the pace to drag a little bit at times, but overall this was an enjoyable read with a unique take on the crime genre.
There is some language and sexual content in this book.

I’m reading this book right now and am enjoying it. I was not thrilled with the raunchy language between Claudia and her girlfriend when they took the two girls to the mall. I hope it doesn’t get worse.
