Hard to say. The way the reltionship was slowly revealed was very well done. They were two of the most twisted people I've ever met in a book.

I loved the first act, enjoyed the second, and was vastly disappointed in the third--too many Scooby-Doo 'twists' weakened the main thrust of the story. I think it's a solid B+, because she stopped believing in her own story right at the end (IMHO). Last year's RECOVERING AMELIA did the same thing.

Maybe not so much a lack of belief in her story, as a fear of finishing (or providing an ending that generates a negative response from readers)?
