PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the prologue of this crafty conundrum from bestseller Jewell (Then She Was Gone), a dead body lies on the kitchen floor of the Fitzwilliam family's Victorian house in a posh neighborhood of Bristol, England. The author smoothly juggles multiple story lines some dating back 20 years centering on paterfamilias Tom Fitzwilliam. For some reason, the now middle-aged, nationally honored schoolmaster seems to effortlessly bewitch women and girls alike, among them his slavishly solicitous wife, Nicola; increasingly paranoid stalker Frances Tripp, the mother of one of his students, 15-year-old Jenna; and Jenna's best friend, Bess Ridley, who has a schoolgirl crush on him. While all the people watching Tom facilitate the serpentine plot, they're also the novel's weakest link, since their respective obsessions remains baffling and at times border on the tedious. That said, prepare to be blindsided by the murder victim's identity, not revealed until late in the game and an even more stunning final surprise. Jewell does a masterly job of maintaining suspense.)
Avis d’utilisateurs
Not like others Jewell books
Despite my deep love for 3 of her other books, this one fails to give me ANYTHING. I hated the characters: vain, mean, stupid, uninteresting and unbelievable. The story itself shows no interesting lead at all. It is empty as a hole, boring and deprived of sincere emotions. Every woman attracted immediately to the same man? A stranger? Unrealistic. Unless she suggests magic ? Haha ! I didn’t found here anything good like in other Jewell books.
