Alice was recently left by her husband. Ursula’s husband died after a violent crime. And Gareth is a washed out, wannabe police officer working as a security officer in a mall. Ursula, Gareth and Alice don’t know each other — or only on the most superficial basis — when their lives intersect during a horrible crime.
Which sounds really exciting and suspenseful, but, unfortunately, it’s not enough to really make this book into a great thriller. While the backstory for each character was interesting, and there’s a brief moment when it seems like we’re finally going to have something happen that stays suspenseful for more than a couple pages, it unfortunately just never gets there.
