What a tangled web this novel is.... amazing writing! I was gripped from start to finish.
The main characters are well rounded, amazingly detailed and life like; the way they interact through each others lives is intriguing and carefully constructed in building this tense thriller.
You are brought into the story through the horror of a murder suicide and the impact this leaves on a lovely young woman, who has her own secrets that reveal themselves through the book.
As the tension builds you are introduced to a strange writer who plagiarisers and copycats everything in his life, his peculiarly incontinent Mother, a bag lady who will leave you with an urge for a burger and a Cop you want to cuddle; not forgetting all the surrounding characters who pop up and round out the story.
Lots of twists and turns with an ending that really fitted in well.
5* does not seem nearly enough to give this brilliant novel.

NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR NOVEL.
First her husband killed their children, then himself. Now she's on her own, and she's bent on making sure it never happens to another woman. It's too late for her…she's already damaged. Yet when she stops the evil she's felt compelled to commit, the murders continue. Someone is a copycat, pinning crimes on her, stalking her, teasing her with his devious plan. She can't make him stop. There may be no way out of the trap she's created out of loss, out of desperation.
There's another problem--she's falling in love with the detective who is in charge of tracking her down. Life is a complex series of paradoxes, a spiral of fear and murder where nothing is as it seems.
"A unique knife-edged page-turner, as dark as the alleys of the Houston demi-monde in which the moral twists of its inventive plot play out. Don't miss this one." - Paul Wilson, author of SIBS and THE SELECT.
"Taut, riveting...The tension is pulled as a noose around the reader's neck." -Robert W. Walker, author of PRIMAL INSTINCT

I thought this was going to be a gripping thriller when i first started it but unfortunatly it just went downhill until the end which was extremely poor and left me feeling very disapointed. The main charecter had had so much happen to her and appeared extremely complex but unbelievable, her friend from the hospital!!!!! well where to start, i dont think the author did her research, the ending was a 'cop out' and i felt as if the author did not really think of an ending until the end and then chose the easy one which was sooooooo disapointing. Overall a good story which had a lot of potential but sadly did not provide what it promised.
