Less a psychological thriller, more a tale of a woman who married a despicable man. Though I expected more mystery, I still enjoyed the novel and wanted to see how it all played out. Lots of jumping back and forth in time and shifting of point-of-view characters, but it flows logically and is easy to follow. I particularly enjoyed the scenes from the journalist's point-of-view. Learned a little about what drives a news story and how they go about it. (The author has worked as a journalist in the past.)
