Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I *devoured* this book in less than a day! This is the author's twelfth book, and each one just gets better and better. I love dual timelines, so reading about Nora 26 years ago and present day Nora made her character very realistic. When Nora was 11, she kept hearing noises coming from her father's "workshop" in the basement. One chance night, the locked doorknob finally opens, and she sees the woman in the cage. Fast-forward 26 years...Nora has changed her last name to escape her father's notoriety and is living a quiet, solitary life as a practicing surgeon, until two of her female patients turn up dead with their hands removed, her father's signature. But her father is in prison. Nora is the one who helped put him there. Who is killing these women, and why are they trying to make Nora seem guilty? Perhaps Nora isn't as innocent as she claims. From reading the flashbacks, I had my suspicions about Nora. Nature vs. nurture is fascinating to me, and I made some assumptions. I was feeling vindicated for awhile but was later proven wrong...and then I got to the last page, and my mind was BLOWN. This author doesn't play around with her twists. I've read most of her books, and her trademark is that "wtf" ending. You'll sit blankly on the couch for several minutes just trying to process what in the hell you just read. Why she doesn't get more recognition is beyond me, but if you are looking for a solid thriller that you will read at breakneck speed while you ignore your family's pleas for dinner, she's your girl.
