Synopsis:
In this compelling novel, Fielding introduces two brothers, Will and Jeff, and their friend Tom, a trio of playboys out to make something happen in the hot sands of South Beach. One night at their favorite watering hole, they make a bet on who will be the first to seduce a mysterious young woman they’ve never seen before. Dark-haired and blue-eyed, Suzy has a disarming, girl-next-door aura about her. She seems like an easy mark, “just waiting for Prince Charming to hit on her,” says Jeff. But these players have no idea what they’re dealing with. A woman filled with secrets, Suzy is hunting for the right man to kill her abusive husband. In the end, the real competition will be to see which Prince Charming is tough enough to slay the dragon and rescue this damsel in distress. And he may not come out alive.
Review:
I had read this book in quick succession to another Joy Fielding - Still Life and had hoped for more from this installment. I began the book and I was instantly hooked by the plot of three friends and a female playing them all off against each other to kill her husband. Throughout the book, I kept feeling one more chapter and then before I knew it within a day I had read the whole book! Page turner, most definitely. Fantastic plot and the ending is a little expected from a seasoned thriller/crime reader but still very good.
