Review: Left me breathless

I got totally engrossed with this story to the point of holding my breath in dread. As a mom, I think it is viscerally engaging - you can't help but try to predict the outcome with a pervasive sense of doom. I often find sexual references gratuitous because they frequently are but in this case they are essential & raise the fear factor. Definitely not a story for the kids and those who are easily offended must tread lightly but as a story by adults for adults it is a must read. If you're a fan of Hitchcock and the like, you'll love this one. I've never written a review before despite reading several books a week but this one deserves the accolades. Good thing it's a short story - it would have disrupted my sleep otherwise.
