Reading the book's blurb, I was eager to get my hands on this one. Sad to say, it did not quite live up to my expectations.

Blurb .. Gaby Mortimer is the woman who has it all.

Hmmm.. that's not how I see it. Yes, she's successful in her work. Yes, she has a husband, but it is soon apparent that he's got another life going on.

One day, while out walking, she comes across the body of a young woman. She finds herself the prime suspect. She seems to take the whole investigation as a joke. Even her husband doesn't seem to take it seriously.

Blurb .. Full of twists and turns, this is a dark and suspenseful psychological thriller that will make you second guess everything.

Yes, there were twists and turns. Dark and suspenseful? Not in my opinion. Second guess? No, not really.

I didn't like the characters at all. The plot was a good one .... but it didn't seem to develop in a way that would actually be suspenseful.
