Resumen del Editor

You don't remember her - but she remembers you.

On the face of it, Emma and Nina have very little in common. Isolated and exhausted by early motherhood, Emma finds her confidence is fading fast. Nina - sophisticated, generous, effortlessly in control - seems to have all the answers.

It's easy to see why Emma is drawn to Nina. But what does Nina see in her?

A seemingly innocent friendship slowly develops into a dangerous game of cat and mouse as Nina eases her way into Emma's life. Soon, it becomes clear that Nina wants something from the unwitting Emma - something that might just destroy her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"...Writing with a quiet confidence and an eye for the most perfect details, Ms. Lane lures her readers into the lives of Nina and Emma, two women at opposite ends of raising a family. Ms. Lane finds the extraordinary in the ordinary, and this gift will keep readers enthralled until the novel's thrilling end." (Lori Roy, author of Bent Road and Until She Comes Home)

"A spellbinding book. Think of Virginia Woolf under the influence of Claude Chabrol. Just beneath the smooth, beautiful sentences lies a world alive with terror." (Tom McNeal, author of To Be Sung Underwater)

What the heck?

This story just did not come together. Nina, one of the main characters was not shown to have sufficient justification for her actions to make her at all believable. It was a good story beginning but never comes to fruition.

Don't even bother

Literally nothing happens until the last 5 minutes.

This story was obnoxious and shallow and confusing.

Definitely returning this one for sure. Boooo

A Tangled Web of Mess!

At first, the duel perspectives wereinteresting, but at omepoint,itbecame redundant. No rhyme or reason for this game of a cat chasing a mouse who thinks she too is a cat. Once a reason becomes availabile, it far too much of a stretch to be believable, which was asdisappointing as the ending. On the upside, the performance was good.

what!!!!

The whole time you're trying to understand and you're creating your own conclusions while waiting and waiting and waiting for answers... Don't hold your breath ...

Kept waiting for something to happen

Such a disappointing wrap-up after a well-crafted story. A few of the characters were extraneous, but the main characters were nicely developed.

Mystery of the ending

Good read. You have to pay very close attention to the entire story. Would like to know how it ended.

drags

the story was repetitive and characters were unlikable. couldn't wait to get through it and find out (finally) what the story was about.

Promising, but then turns into a Lifetime movie

Would you try another book from Harriet Lane and/or Julie Maisey?

I actually was pretty miffed that audible recommended this book. I thought I was getting a novel about two women similar in age but at divergent points in their lives. The early hints that they had met before was interesting, I even thought it interesting that their was a revenge plot possibly brought about by the unrealized actions of the other character. But then it just gets into the "she thought they were friends, but one of them is a killer" territory. DO NOT LISTEN if you are the mother of young children.

Huh?

This made no sense - one woman kills another's child because she flirted with her father?? There's no explanation to justify the crazy ending.

Not complete

I was sadly disappointed that the author did not seem to have a sufficiently formed motive for the antagonists actions .otherwise it was a compelling read..
