I couldn't put this book down. The plot was ingenious. I was never sure whom to trust. I loved it. Having said that, there were a couple of things that kept me from giving it 5 stars. The first one is not the author's fault. It's a question of using different terminology. As an American, some of the idioms I'm sure are well-known in the U.K., were hard to interpret. Also, I was uncomfortable with Dan's need to chain Naomi up. He was a doctor and drugged her. Why the need for chains? That seemed pretty extreme. I found it off-putting and it kept me from ever completely trusting Dan even at the end. All in all, though, I fine first novel.
