Oh Wow, love this story, will be reading all of this authors works ( )

Tense, absorbing, compelling. Wolfenden sits two women down in front of each other and builds the story around them. Is one of the women not playing it straight? what's really going on beneath the surface? The under-thread of menace and unanswered questions kept me reading right through to the end. Highly recommended. ( )

Not really my genre, but I thought this was a well thought out little story. The twist ending was clever and the format, with the present-day interview intercut with the narrative in flashback, was done well. My only criticism would be that the story did not start quickly enough. This could have been shorter, jumping straight into the meat of the story without a lot of character and setting fluff. Short stories have got to engage right away, with sentence one, paragraph one, and page one already completely immersing and captivating the reader. This one felt, instead, very moody. The reader has to suspend disbelief long enough to really care about Carly and let him/herself be drawn into the mystery of why she's being interviewed and what she did. If the mood strikes you, the payoff is worth it. *I received a free copy of the book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review. ( )
