3 STARS
This
novel turned out to be a novella, which in itself was okay, but left me feeling
unsatisfied. The plot had the makings of what I had expected to be a real
thriller, but unfortunately the author did not take advantage of the excellent
premise.
George- racked by post-natal depression overhears her husband - whom she has given a terrible time over the months after their daughter's birth - saying that he was taking them all on a weekend away and that would be the end of it all. Of course, George doesn't ask him about this, but goes along with the weekend away in a cottage on a cliff edge.
This novel could have been full length and had wonderful twists and turns, with a breath-taking climax at the end, but the finish of this was very lame. I would loved to have given this more than three stars - and the cover is superb - but because of the brevity and ending, I feel three is as much as it earned.
