The story never slowed down and got boring. It grabbed me from page 1.

This was a long book to read. The first few chapters were a bit slow but you have to stay with it and you begin to really get into what is happening with the characters and how they interact with each other. Then you don't what to put the book down. It has so many twists and turns and half the time you don't know who is doing what. All in all, I liked this book and would recommend it to anyone.

This book was good. It held my interest until the end. The problem was terrible editing, and the utter lack of common sense in some of the characters. I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything, but the police aren't that smart, and Jemma is obviously invincible.

I really didn't know what to expect when I started this book. However, it's a fantastic read. Full of deception, lies, mystery, murder, and then the players in the story who held incredible parts. The medical professions of surgeons, psychiatrists, hospital leaders always looking for the betterment of themselves. A bunch of narcissistic nobody's who thought they were more deserving than reality. People who cost others their lives, who endangered not only themselves but their families and friends. But, isn't that usually how the story plays out when greed steps in. This story is full of adrenaline, surprising unexpected changes, twist and turns. It's placed in England and France. It runs the gambit of love, lust, jealousy, betrayal, and any and all other human emotions. Plus it was wrapped all up together with a tidy bow of immense fear. I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I did. A great author and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

A slow starter, but . . . . .

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021

It became an interesting read with a few twists & a bit more character building.

Even so, the "on the run heroine" was a bit too unrealistic in my opinion (truly meant as constructive criticism😘).

Betrayal, Lies, Kidnapping

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2021

Does marriage get stale like week old bread? Do husband’s get bored with the same old meals and routines? What happens if the one who got away ten years ago walks back in the room just as the mid life crisis is hitting. Or if the husband is involved in something over his head at work? Tony has it all or she’s he? Until the one day his wife ends up in a lawsuit over a botched hysterectomy and stillbirth. He has a way out for her. His way. His way out. What he has always wanted. But does his son being kidnapped end up part of daddy’s daydream? Fast pasted storyline. Although easily figured out from the start as to who the villain will be. Lots of players in the game to the point of confusion toward the end. The detectives did not play a very strong role in the story. It revolved mostly around Jemma and the other woman.

The worst thriller I've ever read - I didn't even bother finishing it!

Reviewed in Spain on April 24, 2017

The plot scrambled and confusing - very difficult to follow. There were too miraculous escapes from death which ludicrous. e.g one character was locked in the boot of a car which was driven over the edge of a water filled quarry and managed to escape - come on!

Well its been a while since I gave a book 5 stars but this story is excellent. If you like doctors, mystery and a fast paced, page turning story...I would highly recommend this book. No cursing, no graphic sex or violence. A gem of a book.
