I set out to read for an hour or two the other night to wind down before bed, and ended up staying up until 2:30 in the morning finishing this book. Having said that, I felt that the last 80% of the book was far better than the beginning. I didn't find the protagonist, Isabel's initial suspicions of Alicia all that plausible. I'll buy that she felt something was off but she accepts her negative assessment of the girl with very little ambivalence. Most of us, when we distrust someone for no obvious reason, tend to question if we are being too hard on the person.However, once some tangible things start to happen that justify Isabel's suspicions, the story takes off running from there. There are lots of fascinating twists and turns that eventually bring us to a dark and gruesome secret. I don't want to say any more that might spoil the story. Suffice it to say you will get your money's worth out of this psychological thriller.
