This was the first Spindler book I read, and so far, it's my favorite. I thought it was excellent!

Spindler forgets nothing in her plotlines: a peek into each person's character, a touch of romantic involvement, hints about what is to come--it keeps a person engrossed in the details! This story, about three young girls who have formed a binding friendship, moves from recounting a very special summer in their past to a present where each young woman has matured and become an individual. Oh, you'll know "who done it" in plenty of time, because it's the race to the ending that keeps the pages turning!!

The mysterious lovers the three teenage girls spied on were engaged in a deadly sexual game no one else was supposed to know about.
Fifteen years later....the friends are confronted with their past with lots of twists and turns would will really enjoy. Good read, as all of Spindler's books. I think you would enjoy this unsual story.

Andie, Raven and Julie are three young women who are more than best friends - they consider each other to be family. When the girls look in the window of an abandoned house, they see two people who they refer to as Mr. and Mrs. X engaged in a very risque and potentially dangerous adult game. The curious girls return another night and discover that Mrs. X has been killed. The aftermath of the discovery threatens to tear the girls apart.
The trio reunites again in adulthood when Julie's marriage breaks up so she heads back to the nest. Then strange things start happening: Andie receives a newspaper clipping about Mrs. X's murder, Julie has a sadistic new secret lover, and Raven suspects that her new client is using business as an excuse to insert himself into her life. When another woman is found dead, the local sheriff realizes that the three girls' memories may hold a clue as to who the killer is, and all secrets are revealed.
This book is very good for what it is - an escapist thriller geared towards women. Spindler takes the time to develop her characters, and although the book is a bit long it is still a page turner.

I found this story a little unsettling at times but it was good and definitely different from my usual mystery novel. They aren't graphic but it is about S&M so make sure you don't have an aversion to material containing sex and bondage.

I couldn't put this book down, it's a real page turner. Once again Erica Spindler at her best!
I found Erica Spindler. Read about some of her books and read the reviews. So I had to order them and have voraciously gone through 7 books.
Such a different story line. It got a bit confusing but that's how Ms. Spindler works her magic. Then it all comes out in the end.

3 friends spy on a sex game in progress between a man and a woman...or is it just games? the games are involved in a vacant house and one night the man leaves, but not the woman. years later the 3 friends are stalked by the man involved in the sex game that led to death...must read!!!
They were only watching.
The mysterious lovers the three girls spied on were engaged in a deadly sexual game on none else was supposed to know about. Especially not Andie and her friends, whose curiosity had deepened into a dangerous obsession...
Now 15 years later, someone is watching Andie. Someone who won't let her forget the unsolved murder of "Mrs. X" or the disappearance of "Mr. X". Suddenly Andie doesn't know who her friends are...because loyalty can be murder.
Andie, Julie, Raven...Three very different women bound by more than friendship.

They were ONLY WATCHING......
A good romance thriller, albeit formulaic. If you need a good beach read, this will do. Three chums become involved in a murder, but just HOW involved is the question. Fast-paced with enough twists to keep you interested. And enough steamy sex to keep your heart pumping.
Spindler knows how to please.

Excellent story line and a "can't put it down" book!
The first of this author's that I've read ... I'll be looking for others of hers. Strong characters, excellent mystery ... kept me glued to the book until the very last page.
Excellent read. Wasn't completely sure "who dun it" until almost the end. Had my suspicions but this author adds just enough twists to make you go "well maybe....."
loved it
haven't actually read it, was picked up in the airport for lack of anything to read and haven't touched it since...
