Don't trust these people.
Don't trust yourself.
And whatever you do, don't give away that ending....
Louise.
Since her husband walked out, Louise has made her son her world, supporting them both with her part-time job. But all that changes when she meets....
David.
Young, successful and charming - Louise cannot believe a man like him would look at her twice, let alone be attracted to her. But that all comes to a grinding halt when she meets his wife....
Adele.
Beautiful, elegant and sweet - Louise's new friend seems perfect in every way. As she becomes obsessed by this flawless couple, entangled in the intricate web of their marriage, they each in turn reach out to her.
But only when she gets to know them both does she begin to see the cracks.... Is David really the man she thought she knew, and is Adele as vulnerable as she appears?
Just what terrible secrets are they both hiding, and how far will they go to keep them?

Not what I was expecting
If you're buying this expecting a standard crime thriller then you may be disappointed. It's hard to give a full review without revealing some of the plot, however there is a supernatural element to the book that I didn't expect from the summary. As a rule I dislike books with a supernatural theme so I was annoyed that this was not made clear. Also, I'd figured out the so-called twist at the end before I got halfway through so it didn't come as much of a surprise. All in all an average read, it certainly didn't live up to some of the rave reviews I've read. Having said all of that it was well narrated, probably slightly better than the book deserves.

The end was So disappointing & frankly ridiculous
The book is really well narrated and the storyline is sufficiently interesting to keep you wanting to know whats next. But the end ruined the book for me. I wouldn't recommend it because of that

Read to the Very End!!!!!!!!!!
What a fantastic ending! Very creative and origional story. The main character is wonderfully flawed (one too many cliches at times) but the character development is great and the ENDING IS JAW DROPPING. Read it.

Disappointing ending
I thoroughly enjoyed the build up and the story for about two thirds of the book. It was tense and thrilling. I was prepared for an interesting and unpredictable twist. It was unpredictable but not in a good way. I felt the author took the easy way out, explained things away too easily and changed the tone of the book to fit an unrealistic scenario.
This should have a sub genre of fantasy.
