list. For best results, read it alone on an island on a dark
and stormy night.”

it’s the twisted psyches of its main characters that really

rupture a life as deeply as an act of violence.”

and echoes of Wuthering Heights.”

of thrillers, then to dominate it.”

family life in her latest novel. . . . What makes [it] shine is the
struggle of multidimensional characters with issues that all of us
