Ellis juggles so many plot threads, the results are wildly entertaining. It helps that almost every character in the book is inherently unreliable." - New York Times "Suspenseful, sexy, addictive, twisted, and perverse." - James Patterson "Impressive!" - Chicago Tribune "The revelations here will surprise even the smartest readers. A complex tale of wicked revenge that is sure to win fans." — Publishers Weekly"Absolutely dazzling! A clever thriller with a diabolical plot.
