Book Description
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He's a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You'd like to get to know Grace better.
But it's difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.
Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.
Some might wonder what's really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.
My Review
This is a disturbingly horrid book but one you have keep reading in order to find out what happens. I don't want to say that the characters were believable because I hope nobody lives under these conditions. I suppose the author deserves credit for great writing though if she can make you hate the main character so much. She does a great job switching from the past to the present and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I would highly recommend this twisted psychological thriller to those who love books that grip you from the beginning and does not let go until the very last page.
