I could not put this book down, right up to the last page. In fact, I hated that it was ending.

Laura Lippman's books are always good but this one takes hold of you from the first page and doesn't let go.

While Helen/Heloise, the main character is not exactly the most likeable character, you keep rooting for her despite her imperfections. She is not like any other main character that I've ever read before - she is not a prostitute with a heart of gold, but you like end up admiring her and not wanting her story to end.

5 stars for unique story and great storytelling.
