There were too many characters thrown in and the focus came off the main plot. I just wanted to know what happened. I did not care about who was cheating on who. I ended up not focused on the story when listening to the audio. ( ) I'm a huge fan of this couple's series. I can start one without trying to finish it in the same day. This stand alone did not grasp me. A middle aged Mom is murdered. She would never be the one to cheat nor would the husband that was also involved in the affair. Through this strange event secrets creep out. One's entanglement weaves a web around another. I just found this story rather average. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This was my first Nicci French novel, and for the most part I really enjoyed it. The plot overall was inventive and kept my interest. The characters were, if not always likeable, well written. I wasn't particularly fond of the ending, but other than that it was an excellent thriller that was hard to put down.Neve Connolly is leading a bit of a double life. On the surface she is a hard working, caring wife, and mother to two children. However she does have a secret, she is having an affair with Saul and she thinks no one knows about. After spending the evening with Saul she gets a text message the next morning telling her to come to his secret apartment. She arrives to find him brutually murdered and is thrown into panic. Obviously she should contact the police, but then her secret would come out and ruin the lives of her family. For most of the book this was a 4, dropping a star when the book reached it's conclusion. As the story progresses we get glimpses into how things really are despite appearances, and why Neve makes the decisions she does. The plot moves quickly and I read this book with ease. Without spoilers, all I will say about the ending is that I thought it was very weak. Along the way many people are suspected of the murder and the eventual outcome felt like an easy get out to me. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In this thrilling standalone from the internationally bestselling author of the Frieda Klein series, a married woman's affair with her boss spirals into a dangerous game of chess with the police when she discovers he's been murdered and she clears the crime scene of all evidence. One little secret between a married woman, her lover, and a killer. It should have been just a mid-life fling. A guilty indiscretion that Neve Connolly could have weathered. An escape from twenty years of routine marriage to her overworked husband, and from her increasingly distant children. But when Neve pays a morning-after visit to her lover, Saul, and finds him brutally murdered, their pied-à-terre still heady with her perfume, all the lies she has so painstakingly stitched together threaten to unravel. After scrubbing clean every trace of her existence from Saul's life-and death-Neve believes she can return to normal, shaken but intact. But she can't get out of her head the one tormenting question: what was she forgetting? An investigation into the slaying could provide the answer. It's brought Detective Chief Inspector Alastair Hitching, and Neve's worst fears, to her door. But with every new lie, every new misdirection to save herself, Neve descends further into the darkness of her betrayal-and into more danger than she ever imagined. Because Hitching isn't the only one watching Neve. So is a determined killer who's about to make the next terrifying move in a deadly affair… Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
