I thought this was going to be a dire, full of suspense read. It started like that and proceeded like that but the end fell a bit flat for me. It was not the psychological thriller it was dubbed and I felt it did not do anything much for me.
The story in itself is straight forward. You meet someone unexpectedly, it is a total Cinderella moment and the attraction is felt by both parties. Unexpected road blocks ahead and these are ironed out in a rather unconventional manner (investigators etc) and the net result was a happy ending. The psychological part was that the sociopath was unexpected and not the person one expected it to be.
This was a short book ARC sent to me by Edelweiss. The author has written other books and I will be keeping an eye out for these.
Sounds like this one more of a novella with not much thought to the story itself. Tood bad
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry this one didn't work for you. I find I am often disappointed with short stories written in this genre. They seem to leave something to be desired. Sounds like that was the case with this one.
ReplyDeleteI think endings are so tough to write! I have read many books that are good until the end just doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteAw, that's too bad. I really want to read one of her books.
ReplyDeleteSorry this was a disappointment but maybe you'll like her other books more. I heard her speak at a conference once and her writing sounded interesting but I haven't read her books yet.
