This was a present from my Mum for Christmas (she particularly enjoyed 'Three wishes' by Moriarty) and it delivered more than I thought a big fat beachside book would (still was a good head rest). Firstly I learnt a lot about hypnosis and the difference between a hypnotherapist and a hypnotist. Ellen, the hypnotist of the story says that we are all trying to hypnotise the other in relationships, she is just a professional at it. She is 35, single, meets a man online, who has a 8 year old son... a dead wife and his very own stalker. So at the end of every chapter from Ellen's point of view, there is a postscript of what stalker Saskia thinks of a particular date or event in the lives of her stalkees. There is an element of mystery and seeding of clues when she becomes Ellen's client, and we readers suspect every one of Ellen's clients to be her. In good Marian Keyes tradition (but with Sydney place names)everything is resolved neatly, Saskia just needs to be listened to and acknowledged in order to desist her behaviour, Ellen gets her man and baby and we are left to think about this: 'We are all, to some degree in a trance. Our clients think we are putting them to sleep', bit our ultimate goal is to wake them up.'
