The characters are well done too. In the early stages, as you learn about Oliver's childhood, you want to be sympathetic to him. Before long you sympathise with his plight but somehow you can't ''quite'' warm to the boy - or to the man he becomes - but women will find him good looking and charismatic. You're not surprised that he takes advantage of it, that his marriage vows mean nothing to him.
The story takes place in Dublin (where author Liz Nugent lives) and in France and the locations work well. This was a treat of a book - one that kept me reading 'just another chapter' and needing to know how it all worked out. It's also a great pleasure to have discovered an author to watch in the future. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Lying in Wait by Liz Nugent]].
If this book appeals then we think that you might also enjoy [[A Pleasure and a Calling by Phil Hogan]]. For more psychological thrillers we can recommend the work of [[:Category:S J Bolton|S J Bolton]].
