review 1: Vierspel is een aardig boek. In het begin irriteerde ik me soms wat aan de hoofdpersoon Rebecca als ze weer zat te klagen over haar collega Lorna, maar verder is het een leuk en hartverwarmend verhaal over normale mensen. Het boek heeft een happy end, hetgeen past bij het genre (...

review 1: So... yeah. This seemed to have a somewhat interesting plot - a guy leads a double life, his mistress and wife find out and plot revenge. I was expecting the first third of the book to describe the wife, the mistress, and the cheater, the second half to deal with the ladies findi...
