review 1: The premise of this book was interesting but it was a little confusing. Was the idea of the book to punish a working mother because she complained? Did the author want to show showing motherhood and mothers as good or bad? I couldn't tell where the author stood - maybe that was the point. I would have liked to see these themes and most of the characters fleshed out a little more. It WAS a page turner, though.
review 2: Psychological crime fiction. This book started out well and kept the story moving. However, towards the end there is (to me at least) a very creepy scene that made it difficult to go back and finish the book. Without giving too much away, I think it was the combination of 'woman as victim' and exactly what was being done to her that made my skin ... morecrawl. If that scene does not bother you, then overall this is a good story. Audio narrated by Elizabeth Sastre. less
