Riveting Read

Like so many of Sharon Bolton's books this story grabs you from the first page and never let's go. Some of the plot twists I guessed but I'm still feeling blind sided by the end. An absolutely riveting read! ( )

Hamish Wolfe was convicted of brutally murdering 3 young women. But Hamish Wolfe has always stuck to his story -- he's innocent. He wants someone to investigate and to write his story. Maggie Rose is a defense attorney and writer whose specialty is overturning convictions. At first, she ignores his letters. But eventually, even she can't resist his lure.

The question throughout the book is whether Hamish really did it or not. Maggie Rose looks for answers on this with many different people including Hamish to try to figure it out. Both Hamish and Maggie seem a little creepy and off in some way. There was a good twist in the end, although far-fetched. Overall, a story that kept me interested and wanting to find out the answers.

SWEDISH REVIEW

Wow, vilken bok. vad jag älskar med Boltons böcker är inte bara hennes förmåga att skriva spännande böcker med otroliga vändningar, utan även hennes förmåga att skapa intressanta och fascinerande karaktärer som Maggie Rose och Hamish Wolfe. Från början fängslades jag av handlingen och jag älskade känslan av att inte veta hur allting skulle sluta. Är Hamish oskyldig eller inte? Varför håller polisen som fångade Hamish så stor koll på Maggie? Han övervakade henne så mycket så det kändes som att han förföljde honom. Och den största frågan, vem är egentligen Maggie Hope?

Daisy i kedjor gav upphov till många frågor medan jag läste boken och det är svårt att skriva vad som fängslade mig så mycket med boken utan att avslöja saker. Men jag vill säga detta. boken är oerhört spännande, med vändningar som jag absolut inte hade räknat med och ett alldeles fantastiskt slut. Utan tvekan är detta en av de bästa böcker jag har läst detta år!

ENGLISH REVIEW

Oh wow, what a book. What a ride! What I love with Sharon Bolton's books is not only her ability to write thrilling twisted stories, that's her ability to create interesting and extremely fascinating characters like Maggie Rose and Hamish Wolfe. From the beginning was I captivated with the story and I loved the feeling of not knowing how it all would end. I mean questions like; is Hamish innocent or not, why is the cop that caught Hamish keeping a close eye on Maggie, that is starting to feel a bit stalkerish, and who the hell is Maggie Hope, what makes her tick?

Many, many questions went through my head during the time I read the book. And, it's hard to write about what's so interesting about it without giving anything away. But, I will say this, nothing is at it seems, sure some things that happen makes sense, but I never saw that ending coming. This is one of the best books I have read this year!

I want to thank Random House for providing me with a free copy for an honest review! ( )

A dark and twisted mystery. Hamish Wolfe is languishing in jail, the convicted killer of four large women. Movie-star handsome, his mother and groupies are trying to recruit a lawyer-novelist named Maggie Rose to overturn the former doctor's conviction, based on her successful track record. Eventually, she agrees to meet Wolfe in prison, and after several meetings, decides to help. The detective constable warns her of trouble, which, of course, ensues. And the last third of the book are a whirlwind, as Maggie makes a number of discoveries that the police did not. Sadly, the end was less of a surprise than it should have been. ( )
