What a twisting psychological thriller.  I feel like I was tied into knots and woven all over through time, murder,  and mystery...in the end I still sat wondering...WAS any of it true?  Who was the real villain?  What was truth?  Excellent, dark and thrilling read.

the plot centers around a woman who was 13 when her relationship with her 40yr old husband began, there is also some suspicion in the book that the 70ish year old father is in a sexual relationship with his 18-somehing daughter. It is not sexually graphic at all.
