*I have received a complimentary free copy of this book in exchange for my review.This is one of those books that are a little weird, a little surreal, but still stay in the realm of "it could still happen".The plot is definitely realistic, about a burglary gone wrong, when the burglars expecting an empty house find it full. The story goes on from there, and we gradually discover intricate details about the characters and their relationships. The tension level is constantly high but, for me, I think it failed to create the expected climax. That could be the very intention of the author, because the whole story has a little feel of detachment from the story. I felt that would be the way Fiona Carson, one of the main characters, famous writer, would tell the story. It creates a unique effect, and I enjoyed it.
