5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read from John Marrs CONTAINS SPOILERS
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
It's hard to write a review on this book without including spoilers. There were several twists and surprises, most of which I guessed, though I did not predict the big ones.

The story is set in the UK. I live in the US, and am not knowledgeable about laws pertaining to Predatory Marriage here, but the Acknowledgement section made it clear that it happens in the UK, and marriage automatically revokes any will made, even if the marriage is very short-lived.

I am fascinated with the accuracy of Marrs' depiction of the criminal perspective, particularly the sense of entitlement held by the character Connie. I really liked the way the author let the reader know how quickly she slipped back into her old ways of thinking when a con didn't work out.

I did get a little weary of the ways Paul always came out on top. As usual with Marrs' books, just when I was about over it, something happened that changed the tide.

I am definitely a John Marrs fan, and this is not my favorite book of his, but it's still very, very good. He has human nature down pat, and his way of telling a story is creative and just a little bit different from other contemporary authors. His books are well researched and believable. I look forward to reading more from him.

All of John Marrs' books have kept me hooked from the beginning. This one was no different. Very entertaining and twisty. He's truly a mastermind!

3.0 out of 5 stars Kept picking up and putting down

This was my second book by John Marrs and I feel I was spoiled by the first book I read by him (Keep it in the Family) which was unbelievable. For some reason I just kept putting this one down and had a hard time picking it back up. I found things began to really pickup towards the end which made for a strong completion to the story. There was a good twist in there too and some new information thrown in towards the end that steered the story towards a solid ending. I think I would have liked it more if I had read this story first before Keep it in the Family. I had high expectations!

Twists and then when you are expected another twist, and there is not one, which is still similar to a twist. Wonderful author. Love his Oscar.

Read this book in two days at our community swimming pool. I kept changing chairs because I just wanted to continue reading instead of chatting with people. A very good psychological and revenge book.

4.0 out of 5 stars turned out a whole lot different than what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024
This isn’t my fav book by John Marrs, but the ending definitely took a turn that I didn’t expect. It was hard to keep engaged at times as I grew bored of what was happening, I was bound to finish and glad I did. The ending was well written and tied loose strings for a more realistic ending
