This story is a good length, has a lot of depth, and strongly played, demential characters. Harper Knows the psychology of her character and presents whole, complicated, and utterly believable people, complete with flaws, and strengths. Even the lesser characters are nicely grey and believable. It would have been easy to turn the ex into the bad guy as a plot device, or hide a weak plot behind a deluge of sex-capades. Harper easily avoids both, instead giving us an intact, enjoyable story.
