Forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven knows who Evie Cormac is. Known to some as "Angel Face," Evie was the girl discovered hiding in a secret room, in the aftermath of a horrendous crime. Still unidentified six years later, Evie is living in a secure children's home, under the care of the home's own psychologist. Evie is an enigma in that she has never told anyone her real name, or her real age, but she also has a special gift: she can always tell when someone is lying.
When Cyrus is called in to investigate the murder of Jodie, a local high school girl, he starts to discover that Jodie had a number of secrets. As it turns out, there's also a connection to Evie Cormac.
I really liked this fast-paced story, which had characters I really liked -- and was just a great thriller of a read. This was one of those "The vacuuming can get done another day. Just let me read" kind of books. I got immersed in the story pretty quickly and then just devoured the book. It looks like there will be another book in the future with the character of Cyrus Haven (which is great!!), but I'm already looking for the previous books by this author. If this book is any indication, then those other books should be good reads.
