Not much suspense - Spoiler alert
I thought I was reading a psychological thriller. Turned out to be a predictable love gone wrong story. I wouldn't recommend this book to anybody. The plot was thin and the storyline was bland. The lead character, Evelyn, has no moral compass and decides to get even with the woman her husband had an affair with by seducing the other woman's husband. Never mind the fact that Evelyn's husband is a psychiatrist who has preyed on his patient (the other woman) and betrayed her trust. Even more disgusting is the introduction of a hit and run into the story that kills a 16 year old girl on a dark road late at night. The author goes out of her way to portray the victim as a runaway who was wearing dark clothes and on a cocktail of drugs when she was killed... as if that makes the person who ran her down and left her to die less culpable. Later he admits his guilt to Evelyn, gets a slap on the wrist, and pays her off not to share all the gory details so they can both move on with their lives. Not much redemption in any of the characters. If you're looking for a good read with a well-developed plot line and relatable characters this is not it. Don't waste your time!
