Good Points: A mysterious, shocking and intricate story.
Bad Points: Have to wait until the very end to discover the truth!

We are drawn up to the hights of passion and dropped from them into the depths of betrayal without a care. A deep and fascinating novel.

The story takes the form of a series of diary entries from both the main characte ...
