5.0 out of 5 stars A suspense filled book about jealousy., 7 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stand-in (Hardcover)
Having read and enjoyed some of Deborah Moggach's books before, this was a surprise. The Stand In is I would say, her finest book yet. It's an enthralling story which pulls the reader in, and although you know she's wrong, you can't help but find yourself sympathysing with the main character. The book is essentially about jealousy, something we can all relate to! The final page is fantastic, it ties the story up perfectly and leaves you feeling like you've had your moneys worth!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my best ever reads, 17 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stand-in (Hardcover)
I read this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. I found myself totally absorbed. The plot is as tense as the dentist's waiting room. I devoured every word and went on to read all of her other books. To me, this and "Stolen" stand as her best works. What an exceptionally talented writer!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, 13 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stand-in (Hardcover)
The first book I've read by this author and I intend to read lots more. The tension builds as you think "will she/ won't she?"
