5.0 out of 5 stars 3 Aug 2011
By Elizabeth Jasper Writer
Format:Kindle Edition
Thought-provoking and satisfying
While this story follows many of the conventions of the thriller genre, what makes it a little bit special is the insight the author brings to the situation of innocent people thrust without warning into a world of violence and date rape. The victim and her brother are ordinary, decent people, who have had the misfortune to come into contact with a vile serial rapist who is implacable in his self-belief. Why shouldn't he get away with his crimes? These girls are asking for it, aren't they?
It is the way the victim and her brother handle their situation that brings depth to the narrative, along with the odd touch of dark humour to lighten the mix. As the story moves along, the brother and sister change and develop as their desire for justice takes them beyond the bounds of what they have always believed to be the right thing to do. Out of their comfort zone, they devise an intricate, satisfying method of exacting revenge.
Highly recommended.
