Ted Severson meets Lily in an airport bar,
shares a drink; then more, as the flight is delayed. He also shares his recently discovered
marital problems, finding Lily sympathetic to his position and surprisingly
supportive of a solution he is considering – to kill the cheating bitch.
In alternate chapters Lily’s back story and
Ted’s preparations are revealed in unhurried chilling detail. It takes nearly half the book before the first
twist upends the reader; then more follow in an accelerating spiral to the end.
It is cleverly plotted with interesting main
characters who narrate their own intersecting contributions to the unfolding
drama. For those who like their
thrillers dark and twisting this is definitely one of the kind worth reading.
