I have literally read this in 12 hours which is the fastest I've read a book in years! Although it's quite a chunky book the short chapters and fast plot meant I raced through it. This is another book I kept to read on holiday as I love Lisa Jewell.

It is obvious from the outset that the main male character (who has several names) is a bigamist  who is manipulating each of the women he is having a relationship with and extorting money. He is so clever and very creepy! I loved reading both the chapters by him and the different women in his life. The storyline is scaringly plausible and extremely addictive! 
Will he ever get caught? 
Another brilliant psychological thriller with lots of suspense from one of my favourite authors.
