I'm enjoying this novel. The first-person narrator (Paul Strom) is unreliable and totally full of himself. I felt really sorry for his wife (Mia), but as the novel progressed, I got the satisfying feeling that Mia has caught on to his deceipts and manipulations. I sense a comeuppance is in order-- which should be delicious!

I'm really loving this novel!

Absorbing, but also a bit slow so far. The author's holding something huge back as backstory, repeatedly alluding to some tragedy that happened to the narrator's brother. The novel begins with a news article telling us that 15 years after the events of the novel, the narrator's husband dies-- but it's only on page 97 that the first real "threat" or sign of danger is presented to us. Which strikes me as a bit late.
