The latest and sixth book of the DS Charlie Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse series by Sophie Hannah is first published in Great Britain in 2011 by Hodder and Stoughton. It will be published in the USA as The Other Woman's House next year, in 2012.
After becoming a fan of Hannah, I am quite disappointed with this book. The plot is unbelievable, the twists and turns confuse me, I cannot understand the psychological aspects of the story and it is easily the worst book by Hannah, if I may say so. The blurb looks promising, no doubt about that, but the unraveling is anything but. I will not be recommending this book at all.
Hardcover blurb: It's 1:15am. Connie Bowskill should be asleep. Instead, she's logging on to a property website in search of a particular house: 11 Bentley Grove, Cambridge. She knows it's for sale, there's an estate agent's board in the front garden.
Soon Connie is clicking on the 'Virtual Tour' button, keen to see the inside of 11 Bentley Grove and put her mind at rest once and for all. She finds herself looking at a scene from a nightmare: in the living room, in the middle of the carpet, a woman lies face down in a huge pool of blood. In shock, Connie wakes her husband Kit. But when Kit sits down at the computer, he sees no dead body, only a pristine beige carpet in a perfectly ordinary room...
Your eyes tell you one thing. Your husband says another. Which do you trust?
I quite agree with Maxine's review on Petrona.
Rating: 1/5
