Matt Drabble's "Gated" has been compared (both externally and within the novel itself) to the "Stepford Wives" ground-breaking fiction. Matt however applies a cunning twist to the tale, and manages to make a connection between the reader and his protagonists which I felt 'Stepford' never quite accomplished.He's a bit verbose at times, but the pace is acceptable and draws the reader into the atmosphere quite well. I felt myself drawn into the denouement and the character 'Quinn' gave me chills by the end of this narrative. And yes the ending is quite satisfying.Four stars for an enjoyable summer read. Will pick-up some of this author's other works.
