The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it. Your best friend isn't so sure. And even you don't know what to believe . . .« less
A fast read, a light mystery, easy to figure out âwho done itâ.
The characters were weak, the husband pathetic and pitiful.
I wanted to smack the wife's despicable best friend in the head.
The ending predictable.
However despite all this, the book did keep me reading to see what happened.
This has been a long time coming, the reading of this book. Some reviews called it predictable, etc. Well, maybe it was, a bit. But I feel that when I change who I am positive "done it" more than twice, it is a good read. And it was. Quick, not so nice, but not really hateful characters. A good whodunit.
I was so happy I found this copy here, had just finished her other book and wanted more from her. This one didn't disapoint either so had to order the others also, I'm 2 more down the list at this point. Looking forward to more.
I was hooked on this story shortly after beginning it. In the way that it was written, the reader has his/her on judgment as to who the guilty person is. However, in what is almost an epilogue but is the last chapter of the book, a big bomb drops. I was totally shocked!
It's not often I write book reviews, and even less often that I give a book 5 stars.
The only bad thing I can say about the book is I'm done reading it!
