Judith Cutler's latest novel is a disapointment to say the least, and has taught me to indeed never judge a book by the cover. I took a chance on buying this book, and found it to be the biggest waste of money i've spent in ages. The plot lacks imagination and leaves the reader with no desire to turn the page other than to finish the book. The characters are two dimentional and unbelievable with no warmth and there is no hint to their realism. Possibly the worst thing about this book is it's conclusion, a total let down.
