The remaining 300 pages consisted of more quality Lifetime Television for Women drama until finally Millie, despite having dialogue written as if she had the mentality of a toddler, came up with a fix for alllllllllll of Grace’s problems . Grace manages to dump the crushed sleeping pills in Jack’s whisky, and then she lures him to the basement. I mean, there has to be some truth there given how people act when they watch the Packers play the Vikings.
I always love first-person narration—it makes the story so believable (unless it’s an unreliable narrator, of course, which she is not).This is not an upsetting brutal man in the full sense of the word as in beatings, so don't be mislead that this may turn your stomach, because it won't. The author has written a strong plot, a plot that will keep you engrossed so well you definitely won't be able to stop reading, if you need to sleep, be aware that you may not be able to, or at the least, wake to find yourself reaching for your book/kindle before even breakfast! in which assessment there is no pejorative value judgment implied - it is a marriage thriller, after all.
Grace walks headfirst into what is obviously a bad deal in such a glorious fashion that I’m reminded of that old lie about chickens staring up at the rain and drowning. Between the breakneck pacing and the emotional nature of the read (Grace's love for her sister with Down's syndrome is particularly heart-wrenching), my eyes were glued to the pages. Paris is the New York Times and Sunday Times Number 1 bestselling author of seven novels including the word-of-mouth hit, Behind Closed Doors and her upcoming thriller, The Guest.
In a rare moment alone with Millie in a restaurant bathroom, Grace finds out that Jack pushed Millie down the stairs at their wedding, and that Millie thinks that “Jack [is] a bad man” (164).
Every time I put the book down I tried to figure out how this horrific monster would possibly be defeated. She's the complete opposite of Diane — tall, blonde, slim, reserved — and I can't help respecting her for being the first person to step into our house and not go on about how beautiful it is. On finding Rufus to be an excellent golfer, but not quite excellent enough to beat him, Jack invited him and Esther around for dinner.Her feeble attempts at escape are far too quickly dismissed as the hysterical rantings of a madwoman who has to be locked away in the house for her own good - a Bertha Mason for the modern age. A dinner party showcases Grace's extraordinary culinary fete and highlights Jack's lavish attention upon his wife and their guests.
When Grace Harrington meets Jack Angel in Regent’s Park in London, he seems like the perfect man—smart, kind, and even more attractive than George Clooney. Although I'm clearly not a fan, the crocodile-skinned lady, and many on Goodreads, absolutely loved it. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Jack's forte is getting the victims to trust him enough to tell him what has been going on,' Diane, who I suspect of being a little in love with Jack, explains.
At first the fact the events from the past happened only a year before the events from the preset seemed a little odd to me, but as the story progressed I ended up liking this aspect. I couldn’t wrap my mind around how Grace was going to get herself out of the situation she was trapped in. after the initial discovery; once you know what you know (it's a relatively early reveal but i'll continue to play coy), the plot doesn't deviate from that scenario. The look of malevolent anticipation on Jack's face as he opened the door to the utility room had prepared me for something --that he had left her tied up for the two weeks we were away, or that she wouldn't be there --but not that he had left her to die. There are also tiny sugar peas, which I plunged into boiling water just before taking the beef from the oven.
Great Deal
