I enjoyed Maralyn’s first ‘outing’, Duplicity.
The build-up of the suspense in part one keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, only to be gobsmacked by the revelation towards the end of part one.
Part two was extremely innovative, with the viewpoint for the same events as part one through the female protagonist's eyes.
After part two, the reader felt that the end might be predictable and was hoping that it would come to pass.
I felt in part three there was a lot of counselling on behalf of the male protagonist on what to do about the dilemma that was established in the first two parts. Along with the details about his working future, I felt could have been a bit tighter and achieve the endgame a little more quickly.
But when it did, the drama of how the ending would manifest itself was equally as suspenseful as part one.
A good debut novel and charming story - 4 stars from me
