...I doubt there is any such thing or at least there isn’t in relation to this book. My mum had read this and knowing my tastes, she recommended it to me thinking I might like it (or it would at least shut me up for a few hours) so trusting her taste-like you do, I decided to give it a go.

As Alice's new marriage progresses, she finds a dark and unknown side to her husband...... I couldn't put the book down initially. But the ending was a huge letdown. The first half of the book is totally compelling and easy to relate to.....once the book is turned about 3/4 of the way through, you pretty much can figure out the ...
