This was exactly what I needed after a reading slump that lasted months. This is the first book I've read by Lehane (though I did watch--and love--the Shutter Island movie), and I was delighted to find a captivating plot, great characterization, and twists galore. If all his books are like this, I may have found a new favorite author! I love psychological thrillers in general, but this was a cut above the rest. Rachel is a fabulous protagonist: vulnerable, flawed, yet strong and resilient. And I have to admit I fell madly in love with Brian and I was rooting for him even when things started to look pretty grim. I would absolutely LOVE a sequel to this amazing book! A protagonist you start despising and come to love. The young woman who is the protagonist starts as not too appealing - entrapped by panic attacks. With help she gradually gets better and finally grows into a strong and capable person. There are scams within scams - but in the end it is a story about salting a mine. no reviews | add a review
