And the family giving the couple all this angst is interesting also. A single mother with plenty of baggage. She has her own style of parenting, of looking after her family. But at times she struggles. Enter a monosyllabic boyfriend and everything becomes even more interesting to the reader. There's quite a clutch of characters in this novel and the plot has a few sub-plots. It's excellent. Freeman's easy to read style of writing will, I'm sure, gain him plenty of new fans. I haven't read any of his previous novels but I certainly enjoyed this one. It really is the type of book which is hard to put down. I read it over a weekend and gobbled it up quite happily. This is one for those readers who like a good dollop of psychological suspense in their stories. Recommended.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of Freeman's [[Spilled Blood by Brian Freeman|Spilled Blood]].
If this type of book appeals then you might enjoy [[No Escape by N J Cooper]].
