This is what is termed a Quick Read and I read this in a couple of hours or so on a Friday afternoon.
The story is set in the 1920's about a couple who are compelled to get together then get engaged by the thinking of the time. Both of them seemingly trapped and the woman has a mental disorder that makes her clinging and possessive.
The man tolerates her for a while then he realises that he should not be with the woman and he finds new love. Tragically he cannot get out of his old relationship and this leads to a terrifying climax for the book.
I enjoyed the read and the language of the 1920's in England, I thought it was well done. Then to find out that the story was based on fact made it so much more poignant.
8/10 for me and please Minette Walters write some more books!!!!
