A thrilling read and not at all what I expected.
Ava is being interviewed by a detective about how she got involved in returning counterfeit handbags to department stores, and we hear all about an old friend who came back into her life and convinced her to help her out. Ava seems completely innocent and like she has been coerced by this friend and I felt sorry for her most of the way through, until I got to Winnie’s version of the truth. It was interesting to see how both women described the same situations.
It was interesting to get an insight into just how good some of the counterfeit handbags being sold in China really are and how a lot of people wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.
