"A slightly odd book, I wasn't exactly sure where it was going at first. There appeared to be a mystery running in the background, and the focus of the book was generally thoughts from the main character, some humorous. Suspicions abound about a few of the characters, but just when you begin to get a feel for what is going on, the book takes a full 180 degree turn. Definitely a surprise at this point! The remainder of the book does not hit quite as high as the middle, but it kept my full attention from that point on. I would call this suspense rather than mystery. I haven't read any of Joy Fielding's books before, so I don't know if this is her usual writing form. Regardless, it ends with a grande finale!"

" Reminded me of an Alfred Hitchcock flick. It was a page turner from beginning to the surprise ending. "

" My least favorite Fielding book. The foreshadowing began very early, but the payoff was not worth reading through the book. "
— Cheri, 12/18/2013 -
" A very different book than the others she's written. Terry is a 40-year-old, never-married nurse. When she rents her cottage to Alison, she immediately begins to suspect that things are not what they seem. Boy, is she right! "

" Meh, JF is a writer that I have found that people love or they don't. I have found that I can take or leave her books. I have read several now and although they get 3 stars from me..they don't *pop*, so I consider her writing to be nice filler stuff when I need a really light, fluffy book. "
