The Wild Zone - Joy Fielding

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.

BOOK REVIEW



Brief Description:
Beautiful, happily married, and the owner of a successful interior design business, Casey Marshall couldn't be more content with her life. Until a car slams into her at fifty miles an hour, breaking nearly every bone in her body - and plunging her into a coma. Lying in her hospital bed, Casey realizes that, although she is unable to see or communicate, she can hear everything. As the visitor gather at her bedside, she is horrified to discover that her friends aren't necessarily the people she thought them to be - and that her accident might not have been an accident at all. As she struggles to break free from her living death, Casey determines to find out and somehow expose the truth. Whatever it takes.

My Personal Review:

I was recommended this book from a friend, and it was given to me from this person. I had been given really good reviews on how there was lots of twists and turns, the old style Whodunnit type of book.
Well, it really did nothing for me. The offender was obvious from pretty much the start, there was no really build up to the climax and the rest of the book was Carey in a coma with people talking to her and she had her own voice and responded to the comments made.
I have passed it on, not giving my full opinion as some people really would enjoy this but just not me. I want a page turner, i want to not known who dunnit until the last few pages, the last chapter.
