A good psychological thriller. It has all the right elements....murder, jealousy and sexual absession. Very "Hichcockian!"

Enjoyed this one, just not enough to read it more than once. It's a bit outside my zone, but worth taking a chance on. Won't disappoint you.

The story line is good, and characterization is excellent, but still, I found this book to be tedious and very slow going.

The storyline is a good one, but I found it slow going. I tried it twice before I finally got into it, but then I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Large print HB w/DJ.
Great mystery w/lots of intrigue. Minette Walters, a British writer does a page turning cliff hanger. I read it straight through.

This isn't really a review, as I listened only to about 20 minutes of this before I decided I wasn't going to get interested in it soon enough.....Your mileage may vary.....reviews say it's very complex.....
