This story took me quite a bit of time to get invested in. However, I stuck with it, always enamored with Daniel Hurst’s supreme storytelling and writing abilities, and was not disappointed. The entire premise of Grace locking her cheating husband, Dominic, and his mistress, Kamilla, in a cabin for their misdeeds sounded fun. But the logistics didn’t match up. Not until we got the proper background on Grace and her traumatic past. That sweet, paralyzing trauma that can make people act out in uncharacteristic and inappropriate ways. That brought me into the plot and pulled the story together quite well. Now Hurst loves the twists and shock finales, and this was no exception. But this did not need to add the extra layer of Kamilla and ‘Clark’ to an already juicy story. It worked, but just felt like a bit of an unnecessary add on. And I do feel that there wasn’t total closure to everything that happened with Grace and Dominic, too. It ended and felt like both got off a little too easy, but I was left unsure if they deserved worse. So the ending could have been polished up a bit more. Oh, and how could I forget Frank and Maggie as the nosey neighbors. The equivalent of the Rhoades and D’arcys from Married with Children. So annoying and overbearing, but they added some extra intrigue to the story. I did have a good experience here and, although the book overcomplicated itself a bit and had a slightly unsatisfactory ending, the journey was still very enjoyable.
