This is one of the Quick Read series where
well known authors produce short fast-paced novellas to engage readers new to
reading or just to them. I fall into the latter category and picked this as a
first taste of Peter James.
Victor and Joan Smiley have been married for
twenty years, and it is clear that despite keeping up appearances they have
both had enough and want rid of their spouse. Just leaving or divorcing doesn’t
seem an option, maybe smacking of failure, so instead each secretly plans to
kill the other.
Who will strike first and how will it pan
out?
Finding out is entertaining enough and Peter
James keeps the twists and turns going right to the end.
It is light reading, as intended, but good fun
and it has put his full size detective fiction on my radar.
