I normally wait for a story to simmer before even attempting to review. I figure I need some time to digest what I've read. And while this book is A LOT to digest. Like I mean, my heart is racing, my mind is racing and I absolutely devoured this book, and I want more. More from the author, more from the characters. Just MORE.Anyway, onto the review. J. A. Corrigan, I'd love to burrow myself into your psyche to discover just the nuances of your inner thoughts. Like I'm still stunned. And I'm still nervous. Terrified. Worried. Gobsmacked.The story begins with Rose, a woman convicted of murder. No one can believe she'd do something so insidious. She looks so kind, calm but do you really know what a person is capable of? Theo, a reporter, is adamant to get the truth.Throughout the entire story, I was shocked. And I have to say I'm not often stumped in thrillers. The themes of this book, the nail biting anticipations, the reveals. Everything was done with such class, I gobbled it up.This story discussed love, unrequited love that makes you do horrible things. It discussed loss, loss that damages and changes you into a person you didn't know existed.I could talk about this book for hours, and I will...Even the last chapter stunned me and made me gasp audibly. I'm not recommending that you read this book, I'm demanding it. And then after you do, track me down and let's talk because my mind is still racing!

I was hooked by this from the beginning, and my admiration for the author just grew as I read on. The plot, with all its twists (some predictable, others not) was credible, but the book's real strength is in the characters, as all of them are so well-drawn, even those who play minor roles. Very enjoyable, with a superb and unexpected but satisfying, conclusion.

Excellent!!!! Congratulations to the writer!

Absolutely loved this book, couldn't put it down, lots of twists, even right till the end. Best book I've read for a while

This is an intriguing book. The story seems straightforward at first, but then as it unfolds, with one main character investigating the story of the other, it becomes more twisted. Told in chapters of "then" and flipping to chapters of "now" it is a dark tale of naive love, and how the woman came to be in prison. It is well written, albeit with characters who did not have or add much substance to the story, and reads easily. Unfortunately for me "the motive" simply did not ring true, and the latter part of the book felt rushed, almost in a race to get to the end. All in all it is a rather wonderful book with a somewhat disappointing ending. Still, more than worth the read!
