The Barnes & Noble Review
This much-anticipated release by Judith McNaught is a compelling mix of dark desires and unexpected dangers. Everything seems to be wonderful in Leigh Kendall's life. She's happily married to a handsome, wealthy man, and she's starring in a new Broadway play that's receiving rave reviews. The only shadow on her life is the recent spate of anonymous gifts she's been receiving -- sexy, expensive gifts from someone who clearly wants more from Leigh than a stellar theatrical performance. Then her car is run off the road in the midst of a snowstorm, and when she awakens in the hospital, seriously injured, no one can find her husband. At first, the police downplay his absence as a matter of a "misplaced person" who is temporarily out of touch because of the storm. Later, there's speculation that he's the one behind what happened to Leigh￯﾿ﾽor that Leigh is behind his disappearance. Leigh won't settle for speculation, and she soon discovers frightening things about her husband, as well as secrets that could turn her whole life upside down. This expertly crafted page-turner is sure to reward McNaught's eager fans! Sue Stone
