Why we're reading this
This is a nightmarish thriller in the vein of "Fatal
Attraction". It is truly suspenseful, filled with murder, deceit and betrayal.The movie based on this book was fairly good, but could not capture the suspense in this book.

Some books are so good that you can't put them down. But some books are soooo good that you can't continue reading them because you don't want to know what's going to happen next. This one falls in the second category! Brilliant first novel!

This book was a page turner! It was difficult to put it down. The movie based on this book was fairly good, but it did not capture the heart-pounding suspense in the written words.
It is difficult to describe this story without spoilers, so I shall tell you the basics.It is a nightmarish thriller, similar in some measure to, "Fatal Attraction".There is murder, deceit and betrayal and a surprise ending!

Wow! A story of how one bad decision spirals into more bad decisions. It is truly like reading about a train wreck. It has a graphic rape scene which if you skip you will rate this one a 5 star. I told my wife about every scene as it happened.
