Wicked, wicked, wicked story, one of the best I've read thus far. Flynn has a knack for turning the morbid, the macabre, the extraordinary into ordinary. And then shocking us by showing us, in a flash, how we were wrong. How I relish this woman's mind... our age's Nicci French.

I went into this book with no idea what it’s about, I just needed a quick read to get me closer to finishing my goodreads challenge for this year. i’m glad I chose this book. it was a quick read and sucked me in, I couldn’t put it down. I have one major question though, which i’m sure will never be answered. definitely read it if you have a spare minute!!

Une mise en scène intéressante mais une fin beaucoup trop ouverte à mon goût ... j'ai eu l'impression de lire le début d'un roman qui n'a jamais été complété.
