I am a big fan of Anna's light chic lit. This book is not the same genre. This book made me want to call Anna and beg her to write more of the same. She weaves a story that kept me guessing, that made me physically unable to tear my eyes away from the pages. I HAD to know what would happen next! I absolutely loved it and hope she will come out with more chic thrillers!
When I started this, I wasn't sure it was for me, but by the time I was finished, I didn't want it to end. Told from the point of view of many characters, but that worked really well and brought the story together. Very intense at times and a bit graphic, but I really liked it.
This was the darkest of Maxted's books that I've read. The themes of child abuse are just too graphic and disturbing for me. I did not enjoy this book at all. I was relieved when I finished.
