Review
“Fielding is a master of anticipation and knows how to create a labyrinth of tension, never providing an exit until the very last page.” — The Globe and Mail
--This text refers to the
Hardcover
edition.
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding delivers a riveting tale of suspense, told from the viewpoint of a young woman trapped in a coma, but all-too-aware of the terrible things being done to her
Beautiful, happily married, surrounded by loving friends, and the owner of a successful interior design business, Casey Marshall couldn’t be more content with her life. Until a car slams into her at almost fifty miles an hour, breaking nearly every bone in her body, and plunging her into a coma that leaves her conscious but unable to move or communicate. Lying in her hospital bed, observing and listening to visitors, who assume she is oblivious to what they are saying, she quickly discovers that her friends aren’t necessarily the people she thought them to be—and that her accident might not have been an accident at all. As she struggles to break free from her living death, she begins to wonder if what lies ahead could be even worse.
“It is Fielding’s ability to get under the skin of her characters—and her readers—that has made her such a dependably bestselling author,” says the Calgary Herald . Smart, suspenseful, and overwhelmingly addictive, Still Life is a novel her fans won’t soon forget.

Page turner...,
By
This review is from: Still Life (Hardcover)
Joy Fielding's latest book Still Life has just been released by Random House Canada. And like many of her previous novels, it's sure to be a bestseller.Casey Marshall is 'that' girl. Beautiful, wealthy, successful in everything she attempts - business and love, with a great life and wonderful friends. She is leaving a restaurant after lunching with friends when she is hit by an SUV that flees the scene. Miraculously Casey isn't dead - but she is in a coma. Here's the great twist - she can hear everything going on around her, but can't respond, verbally or physically. Once Casey had thought it would be great fun in life "to be able to eavesdrop, to listen in on private conversations, to find out what people were really thinking, to discover their deepest secrets, witness what they did when they assumed they were alone." But then she hears the detective in charge of her case say that it may not have been an accident, it may have been an attempt on her life. Who could want her dead? Her loving husband, her troubled sister, her two best friends, someone from work? "How bitterly ironic... that her main reason for living had come down to finding out who wanted her dead." The entire story is based around Casey - what she can hear and what she learns about those closest to her. We learn the back story through her memories. If you're looking for a terrifically entertaining read this is definitely a good choice. Not an overly elaborate whodunit and the characters are a bit formulaic, but a satisfying page turner, perfect for a bit of escapist reading on the beach or on a rainy day.

Very Suspensefull and Hard to Put Down!,
This review is from: Still Life (Mass Market Paperback)
A very enjoyable read and written from a very different perspective. Imagine how you would feel being able to listen to everything going on and being said while you are in a coma. You are the preverbial fly on the wall.

This review is from: Still Life (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read several Joy Fieldings books and she has not disappointed me yet. I could hardly put the book down once I started reading it. Action all the way through and she keeps you guessing. HIghly recommended.
