Soooo, how do I bribe Nalini Singh to stop writing Romance and focus on Thrillers? Because I really need more of this.
It seemed so simple and straight forward at the beginning and developed into this huge, confusing mess, and I loved every bit of it. I kept guessing, and I kept second-guessing, and for me the conclusion was really satisfying. It is a very slow-paced book with a huge cast of characters, but the writing was so good, it kept me hooked until the very last page. Loved the diversity and the setting in New Zealand, specifically in this secluded rich people neighborhood where everyone is keeping secrets. The interactions between the neighbors gave me life, and the protagonist was... something!
It's probably too much to ask for a mini series adaptation? It's just so many of those scenes were SO vivid, I could practically see them played out in my head.
