• I've read this book twice in the last ten years and its story is as fresh in my mind as if it were yesterday. A brilliant book with alot of twists. Simply unforgettable.

• Brilliant, a masterpiece.Susan receives a note out of the blue from ger ex-husband. He has written a novel and would like her, as his fiercest critic to read it and send her comments. We then get to read it along with her and the whole novel grips like a vice. I always snort at the idea of a novel within a novel on the basis that if the internal novel was any good then it would have been a novel in its own right, the novel within is usually poor making the whole novel hardly worth readimg. In this case the author gets round this by writing an absolutely brilliant internal novel!Republished for some reason 7 years after the author died, having been nneglected, this is actually a must read!

• This is a re-release of a book that reviewed well but didn't have a large readership, the author has since passed away but the publishers think so highly of this book that they have given it a second chance. I have to admit that it really held my interest, it is a book within a book construct, but the foreboding tension of the story is fantastic. The last third of the book was not as good as what came before but it has stuck in my mind. That is always the sign to me of a successful book.

• At first, I was totally captivated by this novel. The whole premise is fascinating and the initial situation extremely tense. It was Susan's attempts to make sense of Edward's manuscript that I found less convincing.
