review 1: Even though I really liked the first three, just like some other reviewers, I did not like this book. More than half-way thru and I finally stopped reading it. I couldn't care what the outcome of the book was. Quite the disappointment. I didn't like the story. Lydia hasn't seen the missing woman for a year and-a-half and considers Lily as a mentoring student. Yet later on she tells every one how much she cared for her. Which is it? If you cared for Lily, you would have returned her phone call two weeks prior to finding out she's missing. But instead, as usual, she's caught up in her own life and dismisses the call. And who the hell saves voicemail messages from over a decade ago? Give me a freakin' break! As you can deduce, I found the protagonist, Lydia Strong, to be very... more selfish and a total bitch. I couldn't stand her anymore. It's always be considerate of her feelings, yet she never thinks of anyone else, not even her husband's. She's just irritating as hell. She's actually the main reason I gave up reading the book.
review 2: Ewwwwwwww. I'm too tired to go into much detail. Not the author's fault but the description on the back is misleading. It is the author's fault, however, that she names the protagonist's husband after her own. And things just go downhill from there. This is one annoying character, driving around in a Mercedes in NYC - who the hell needs a car in NYC? If you like Lifetime movies, you'll probably like this book. If you like Lifetime movies to laugh at, skip this book. It will just irritate you. It's boring and ludicrous. less
