This books goes back and forth in time from past to present and vice versa. We are privy to how Webster has tried to manipulate, and destroy Ingrid’s life We are shown how being stalked and the stress of Webster trying to destroy her life has on her. Webster is an interesting character as well. He’s devious, creepy, manipulative, and sinister. Should she believe him when he tells her that while he was stalking her, he learned that there are others interested in her as well? hmmm
Jane Casey can write and I have enjoyed many books in her Maeve Kerrigan Series but I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I had hoped. Perhaps my hopes were too high, I’m not sure. Although I enjoyed this book with it’s twists and turns, I still wasn’t entirely wowed by it. But, Casey is a wonderful writer and I will continue to seek out her books. This was a one off for me.
Others are enjoying this more than I did, so please seek out their reviews as well.
Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
