A finely woven tale of suspense to be commended for letting readers into the heads of multiple characters more than most novels in this genre. Not to say this is an entry into fine literature by any means. Just a well written book in a suspense genre that brings in some fresh plot ideas to keep the readers' interest till the end. The personal backgrounds of the author and her husband on which the fictional characters are based on (not the plot or the events) help to provide a unique context and setting for the plot with some credibility. However, the rather superficial attempt in the book to explore the couple relationship between the protagonist and her husband seems tangential and very tentative perhaps due to the sensitivity involved in having loosely based the fictional characters on her own situation. A minor undeveloped sour note in an otherwise well-brewed tale. Good book for lazy summer reading.
