I flew through this book in only a number of hours, finding it fascinating from cover to cover.The characters are so well defined that I either loved or hated them on sight (?).  Gloria is a psychopath of the first order and, as with any psychopath, was well able to manipulate all who happened upon her sphere of influence. At times I felt like slapping some of the characters for putting up with her annoying minor machinations, especially Felicity and Odette, but could well understand their motives for keeping the neighbourly peace.This is the second book I've read recently by author Joanna Stephen-Ward and I for one, will be anticipating many more in the future.
