I am dumbfounded by the positive reviews for this book. The only thing I’m more surprised by is how much of it I managed to read. It was readable but.... it felt as if it was written by a teenager taking her very first creative writing class who has not yet mastered the art of dialogue.
An entertaining, suspenseful read for sure. I did find it hard to believe-the one dimensional evil husband and the way he was able to take over her life. You just have to accept her circumstances even if it feels far-fetched. They live in the same area. She had people who could disprove his invented narrative. But, at the same time, this is the life of battered, mental and/or physical, women. It felt like an episode of 48 hours. At least it has a satisfying ending.
Fantastic thriller
