Janet Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Her choice of partner was also a little unusual, but certainly adds an interesting slant. It certainly does. How likely it would be to really happen is questionable but like you, I thought it added an unusual twist! I always enjoy Emily Barr’s books. They are what could be described as chick-lit with sinister overtones. Whilst I found that this book was rather predictable, I guessed that Helen's brother was dead , for example, the pace of it and the way it is divided into sections of either Liz’s story or Helen’s story - with the occasional bit about ‘Mary’ - made it quite compelling and I found I had to keep picking it up to find out what would happen next. My only slight criticism is that I felt the prologue was a bit of a giveaway as to what was coming! Edited October 20, 2009 by Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
