The book felt a bit like a lost opportunity because there was plenty of good material to create a page turner. Unless you are particularly interested in either of these subjects, there is not much engaging about this novel, not at all like her others which I couldn’t put down, especially The Husband’s Secret and Big Little Lies. The story is narrated alternately by the stalker and the hypnotist. Instead of being horrified, Ellen is strangely intrigued and her curiosity gets the better of her, especially when it turns out that Ellen has already met her. He is the victim of a stalker, an ex-girlfriend who just won’t leave him alone. But instead, when he returns, he tells her something quite unexpected. She really liked Patrick and is steeling herself for another rejection. He is acting a bit strange and suddenly leaves the table after saying he must tell her something. The story opens in a restaurant where Ellen, a hypnotist by profession, is having dinner with Patrick, a new promising candidate in a long line of failed relationships. This is another of Moriarty’s very readable novels.
