“So I thought I might take up para-gliding. You know, buy one on ebay and just jump off a cliff one morning.”
Emily Willows is middle-aged, wealthy, widowed and bored. When she makes those flippant remarks to her son over coffee one Friday, she has no inkling that within a few hours she will be facing the most terrifying situation of her life. Neither could she have guessed that she will be confronting it with the enigmatic young woman who moved in next door a few months ago and who has hardly spoken a word to her since.
And neither of them have realised yet that after this meeting, their lives will never be the same again.
This wasn't a mystery like the beginning intimated. It was an action novel. And the action was written pretty well.
There was a confusing section in the middle at an attempt of a police-procedural. Then an attempt at connecting that to a conspiracy at the end. It fell flat. But I liked the two protags, so I'll try the next in the series.
