Utåt sett har Faye allt hon önskar sig. En perfekt och framgångsrik man med ett företag värt miljoner, en älskad dotter och en lyxig lägenhet i den finaste delen av Stockholm. Men ingen vet om de mörka minnena hon har från sin uppväxt i Fjällbacka, minnena som jagar henne trots att hon begravt dem djupt inne i sig för att glömma dem. Faye var förut en stark person med ambitioner, men allt det ändrades när hon träffade sin man Jack. För Jack gav hon upp allt hon trodde på och ändrade allt hon var för att passa in i hans värld. Så den dagen Jack sviker henne rasar hela Fayes värld och plötsligt har hon ingenting kvar. När chocken lagt sig och hon inser vem hon egentligen är bestämmer sig Faye för att ge igen och börjar planera en gruvlig hämnd mot Jack. 

Jag lyssnade om denna bok igen för att friska på minnet av vad som hänt innan jag läser den tredje delen. 
Gillar den fortfarande. Det är bra karaktärer i den och det är lätt att följa med i historien även när den hoppar mellan dåtid och nutid. Jag vill så gärna att det går bra för Faye som får utstå så mycket och jag gillar verkligen inte Jack som är så bra beskriven att när jag läser om honom kryper det i kroppen och jag vill gärna ge honom en smäll. Kommer sakta ihåg det oväntade slutet och tänker lyssna på nästa del snarast.

Hell hath no fury indeed!
 Don't you love a book that makes you order the sequel before you're even finished the first?
 The Gilded Cage is that book.
 As is often the case with Nordic mysteries, it's not for the faint of heart. It's dark and it's out there.
 Faye has been beaten down throughout her life, both literally and figuratively.
 After husband Jack is caught in the act of infidelity, something turns in her. She's taking back her power and taking others along with her.
 I won't say any more other than I was absolutely hooked. Dual timelines give us Faye's past and current realities, painting a most memorable character. 
 I won't be delaying on getting to the next part of the story in Silver Tears. 
 Recommended!
