This is a hearty sized novel with numerous possible bad guys. Between the abused wife having an affair, the husband who batters, a man pretending to be someone else and a pissed off stalker, there are numerous ways this novel can spin.
As the description states, the chapters are fast paced, be they lengthy or one paragraph, leaving the reader to turn pages at a rapid pace, desperate not to be left behind as the story unfolds.
Not so much a whodunit as a "what the hell happens next?!"
