High quality, absorbing page-turning, weird twisty stuff. In other words: solid Moriarty. I could depend on this to see me through a very stressful 24 hours. The hypnotist's métier is explored and used in a really interesting way. There is an intriguing dual-pov structure that has an unexpected reveal about 1/4 of the way in; it switches between first person and third person so is easy to track. Emotions and characterisations are not clear cut. One page I thought "you bastard!" or "you bitch!",

Another wonderful read by Moriarty, filled with interesting & engaging characters. As she often does, the author writes from two different perspectives, giving the reader a more 360-view of the goings-on in the lives of the main characters. Borrowed as an ebook from our US library system; I didn't manage to get it finished the first time around and had to wait for the book to come off "Hold" to finish it.

Misogynist drivel with only the barest entertainment value - hence the second star. Even so, I wish I had that time back. I think this is my final foray into Moriarty.
