This is the first story I've read by this author, and will be looking for more. The mystery is well set up, and the ending was a surprise. Psychological abuse can be so quiet, insidious and hard to pin down. It was very interesting that Laura had been filming and researching different types of domestic abuse but was unprepared to identify and fight it in her own life. Not the best written book, but well enough paced that the reader isn't tempted to skip ahead just to get it over with.

Every now and again I like reading a bestseller. Abbott was profiled in Mslexia, the women's writing magazine, and I was intrigued by her success as a self-published author. I am not a natural crime genre lover so a crime novel really has to be pretty good to hold my interest, and this one only just managed to do so. It seemed pretty run-of-the-mill crime fare; gosh, I can't even remember all that much, except the somewhat outlandish plot devices and the gloomy country mansion. It was OK.
