This was a very easy and quick read and very entertaining. Although I must say, after reading several of these domestic thrillers, that I find it fascinating that everyone loves to imagine that there’s such a seamy underbelly to suburbia! Thompson has written an exceptionally dishy enjoyable read full of secrets, lies, and red herrings set in the cul de sacs of modern America. I really enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game played between The Villain and Allie – despite a parade of horribles that befall her, the book never felt over-the-top or overdone. It worked, even as the mind games and frauds piled up into towering mountains of destruction, and I think that’s due to Thompson’s engaging storytelling style. I’d definitely pick her novels up again.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
