- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I chose this as a light read on a day off. To my surprise, I found myself wrapped in a deftly sketched and quite dark tragedy, ripe with all the hidden evil and insanity lurking in the human heart, but shot through with strains of decency and humility.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent story, reader needs to slow down just a titch, and add more lilt to her voice.
