Lacking thrill
I found this book to be highly uninteresting, by no means a myster/thriller. The entangled friendships gave characters a tiresome feeling as well as a never ending monotonous revisiting of past and present interactions of 'what was' or 'could be.' I felt Severine's 'presence' more a nuisance than a sensible addition. I kept waiting for momentum which never appeared. Bread crumbs early on led me to the villain.

Fast paced read albeit humdrum.
Marybeth T. (Bellingham, WA)

Disappointed
I was really not a fan of this book. The characters were all disappointing. I especially did not like the main character Kate. Melodramatic, whiney, and just plain annoying.

I also figured it out right from the start. Maybe I read to many whodunits, but this was way to easy.
Loren B. (Appleton, WI)

One bad apple
I found the characters and their " secrets " to be incredibly shallow. I finished the book only because I wanted to confirm my suspicions as to " who dun it " and why. It was easy to guess which character was the guilty one and the motive was the oldest one in the books.

I admit I probably didn't relate to the characters because I'm quite a bit older than they-perhaps a younger reader would enjoy this book .
