review 1: The only reason I read this book is that I was looking for something immediately available as an e-book from the public library. It was okay. The entire book was written in "before" and "after" passages, which kind of got annoying. There were plot twists (I guess), but things seemed a little contrived and "trying too hard." There wasn't enough context to believe in the characters and why they did the things they did. I don't think I'll read any more novels by this author (who, I gather, is actually a husband-and-wife team using a pen name).
review 2: Another clever book from Nicci French. This one was set up a little differently, in that it begins with the protagonist discovering the body of her dead lover, and having to somehow cover up the crime. It then jump... mores back to several weeks earlier when she first met him. The two narratives continue simultaneously, flipping back and forth between the two time lines pretty seamlessly. As usual, French introduces a whole host of shady characters who all seem guilty up until the very end. Not as tense as some of French's earlier works, but still a fast, fun read. less
