Having read all of Susan Lewis's books I was looking forward to this. This is the third book in the Laurie Forbes/Elliot Russell series (silent truths, wicked beauty)and I was wondering how could she take their story further without making it boring. The book turned out to be better than the other two! I really enjoyed it, read it on hols and had to be dragged away from it. It is heart stopping stuff to read the development of Laurie and Elliot's relationship. You think you have Elliot sussed out but then he does something very unpredictible and heartbreaking. Having 'lived' with Laurie through the last 2 books you can really feel her pain! I was devastated when it ended, and delighted their story continues in oct. have my copy pre booked already with amazon. For me Susan Lewis has returned to her best. this rates up there with her other great books, darkest longings, vengence, last resort,,,,,,. take this on hols and enjoy.
