This was the first book I'd read by Nicci French and I found it gripping. Brendon was truly sinister and the storyline kept me hooked. ( )

The Nicci French couple can always create stories with an opressive and anguished atmosphere. We are left with a not-so-good feeling.

This time we have a woman, Miranda, that after breaking up with a guy she went out with for 8 or 9 times, sees that she can't get rid of him. He starts going out with her sister and telling a whole bunch of lies about her and their relationship to everyone. I couldn't help a feeling that she should have being stronger and tried to put a stop at that before being too late, as it turned out to be. Brendan was really a nasty guy and could charm anyone, but it seemed a little unbelievable that no one believed Miranda. No one! And isn't this repetitive? Haven't we seen the same situation in other books?
Are they loosing their touch? The book lacks originality, we've seen all of that before... The twist at the end, predictable. Weak.

If this was the 1st book I had read by them, probably I would have a differente opinion, but after all the others, I wanted more, and different. ( )
