I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest reviewThree friends since grade school, one of them a psychotic killer determined to make the other two pay for the perceived wrongs he suffered at their hands.John, David and Emily have been close friends for years. Both John and David are in love with Emily although David’s idea of love is strange to say the least.John is a police detective investigating a horrific double murder. The further he digs the more he believes David is responsible and he and Emily are dragged into David's weird and dangerous mind games. Their nightmare is only just beginning. David is a very sick and scary character, totally evil with no remorse for his actions.ThoughtsThis is a chillingly disturbing tale of how a particular upbringing can shape a life. How a childhood lived in fear can affect the psyche in terrible ways.  It’s also about friendship and loyalty. How much can you take from someone you thought of as a close friend before the bonds of that friendship are broken irrevocably.If I have one niggle it’s that two of the main protagonists' story are told in the first person, I found it a little disconcerting jumping from one to the other but that’s just my personal opinion. Apart from that it's a well crafted story full of tension and suspense.
