A years-old mystery from Adele and David’s early days together, one whose basic outline could have been lifted from an old-fashioned gothic romance, becomes increasingly compelling to Louise, who is torn between love, lust, or whatever for David and pity for Adele.

David appears to be a controlling cheater, but maybe there’s more to his story. Adele is manipulative, although it’s not initially clear whether that stems from malice or self-preservation. Louise has reliably poor judgment but seems a relatable everywoman. Most of the book switches between narration by Louise and narration by Adele. Meanwhile, David keeps a tight reign on information, if not his emotions. Each woman carefully withholds what she knows about David from the other woman, and what she knows about the other woman from David.
Unbeknownst to David, Louise and Adele start socializing with each other as Louise’s illicit relationship with David gets underway. Adele is married to David, and Louise works for him. Part One: London dwellers Louise, Adele and David become involved in a very awkward triangle that an enigmatic early chapter has suggested won’t end without violence. Part two adds some information that’s possibly relevant to whether you’d like the book, but that no-spoilage hardliners might prefer to avoid. Following is two-part evaluation intended to help readers decide whether this is a book they might like. finish a section, having a twist that stands out from the crowd is no small thing.Īny ending to a well-constructed thriller needs groundwork, so writing a spoiler-free review of a super twisty book is a challenge.
