From Booklist
This one's not for the squeamish. The novel opens with the brutal murder of Leila Knightly, an unhappily married mother of two stepchildren. Who did it, of course, is the question, and genre veteran Curzon guides readers toward the answer in a manner both circuitous and compelling. Each chapter brings a new point of view. First it's the killer, then the policeman on the case, then Leila herself, from whom readers learn about her troubled home life and the shocking discoveries she makes about the life of her teenage stepdaughter, Chloe. In her own chapter, however, Chloe offers some shocking psychosexual secrets of her own. Curzon is at her best portraying very different characters, all of whom seem very real, even the sickest of the group. The story is set in a small English village, but it's not at all cozy.
