Product Description
Perspicaces detalles psicológicos y un suspenso sorprendente se combinan para hacer de esta la mejor novela de Joy Fielding.

La terapeuta familiar Kate Sinclair soluciona las problemáticas vidas de otras personas al tiempo que cuida su matrimonio y la tranquilidad de su hogar. Pero existen partes de su pasado que no están muy claras, y la armonía que con tanto esmero ha preservado durante mucho tiempo se viene abajo cuando su media hermana JoLynn anuncia sus planes de casarse con un tal Colin Friendly, acusado de matar a 13 mujeres desaparecidas en el área de Palm Beach.

Como si esto no fuera poco, Sara, la hija rebelde de Kate, ha caído bajo la influencia de JoLynn. Su madre desaparece del asilo de ancianos donde vive. En medio de este desorden aparece Robert, antiguo amor de Kate, ahora dueño de una cadena de radioemisoras que cubren el juicio de Colin Friendly.

Decir que nada será igual para Kate Sinclair y los demás miembros de su familia es decir poco acerca de la interesante y compulsiva mirada con la que Joy Fielding percibe la línea divisoria que separa los asuntos domésticos del horror de la violencia. ... Read more

Just a Trashy Novel
Although this story was a tad implausible, it held my interest. Psychiatrist Kate Sinclair is a master at helping strangers straighten out their issues, but she has quite a few on her plate. She is also untrustworthy. I didn't like Kate at all. Kate is yet another loathsome female protagonist - to wit, we have Gail, who was truly loathsome from "Life Penalties" and Jess of "Tell Me No Secrets" and Nicole of "The Other Woman" infamy.

Her half sister, JoLynn has taken up with a murderer. Her older daughter Sara goes through the worst of adolescence and bratty younger daughter Michelle is a favored, pampered little queen. (I didn't like Michelle). I felt Kate was unfair to Sara and I didn't like the way she just took it for granted that Sara would go along with her [Kate's] just taking her room to install her terminally ill mother. Poor Sara must have felt displaced. I also hated it when she slapped Sara. I was glad Sara hit her back! It was unfair of her to threaten to throw Sara out if she ever struck Sara again. I wish snotty Michelle had been slapped. She was phony and two-faced and every bit as loathsome as Kate. I actually breathed a sigh of relief when nasty Michelle took up smoking (a singularly VILE vice) and Kate wised up to the kind of obnoxious liar Michelle really was. Kate was singularly odious.

I had trouble with JoLynn's murderous lover. Instead of a cliche ending, the lover steals JoLynn's Toyota Camry and kills her. That made for a tragic ending, yet it was good this book did not become yet another cliche. It was "tolerable" in spite of Kate and Michelle.
