I really enjoyed her "The Daddy Clock" but this effort was all kinds of wrong. Yes the narrative and the dialog are snappy in parts, but the monumental duplicity that is exercised in this novel really made me wince. I prescribe to the concept that people have secrets and telling your loved ones about actions you've taken can cause more harm than not and hence should not be disclosed, but Kate/Karen just went overboard and the ramifications, while ultimately not catastrophic, still left me with a queasy feeling in my gut.
