Critic reviews

"An ending worthy of Hitchcock....The brutal denouement will shake readers lulled by the tale's cozy trappings, but those familiar with Patricia Highsmith's particular brand of sinister storytelling will recognize the mayhem Fielding so cunningly unleashes." (Publishers Weekly)

"The author keeps the tension high and the pages turning, creating a chillingly paranoid atmosphere." (Booklist)

Excellent

This mystery kept me spellbound from beginning to end. Very compelling. You just don't know what will happen next.

"Okay" Fielding ...

I'd rate this book as just "Okay." Much, much longer than needed to tell this story. Have patience!

Crazy!

What a crazy ride. I really enjoyed listening to this story. I didn't see the end coming.

Chilling paranoia or black comedy?

I have to admit that I really love books (and movies) that surprise me so much that they take my breath away. They are very rare, and this is one of them. I'm hoping that the Audible editors will consider making this book a Daily Deal so that others can discover it. Bravo, Joy Fielding!
