About this ebook
Bonnie Wheeler had a picture-perfect life: a rewarding job as a schoolteacher, a happy marriage to a successful TV director, a sprawling suburban home, and Amanda, her adorable three-year-old daughter. She’d heard the sordid details about her husband’s ex-wife, Joan -- the drinking, the instability. Then Joan calls her with a cryptic warning -- you’re in danger, you and Amanda.
But when Joan is found murdered and Bonnie is the prime suspect, she knows this is no game. Suddenly her secure world comes crashing down around her. Things she once believed in are lies. People she thought she knew have shocking secrets to reveal.
Desperate to know who intends to harm her daughter, Bonnie is caught in a frantic race to keep Amanda safe -- even as she feels her own grasp on reality slipping....

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inhaltsangabe:Bonnie Wheeler führt ein geordnetes Leben, hat eine zauberhafte Tochter, einen fürsorglichen Ehemann, einen ausfüllenden Beruf und Bonnie ist mit ihrem Leben sehr zufrieden. Doch dann erhält sie einen beunruhigenden Anruf von Joan, die Ex-Frau ihres Mann: „Sie und ihre Tochter sind in Gefahr!“Zuerst möchte Bonnie gar nicht wissen, was eigentlich los ist, denn seit dem Tod des jüngsten Kindes und dem Scheitern der Ehe trank Joan. Doch schließlich geht Bonnie zum vereinbarten Treffpunkt und findet Joan ermordet vor. Sofort wird ihr klar, das es wohl irgendetwas mit ihrem Telefonanruf zutun hatte.Doch Bonnie hat nicht sehr viel Zeit, darüber nachzudenken, wer eigentlich der Mörder von Joan ist. Denn sie wird von der Polizei selbst verdächtigt und hat auch noch plötzlich zwei Stiefkinder bekommen: Sam und Lauren, die älteren Kinder ihres Mannes. Sie benehmen sich aber auch äußerst merkwürdig.Für Bonnie beginnt eine turbulente Zeit. Sie muß sich plötzlich der Vergangenheit stellen, denn in Joans Adreßbuch taucht auch der Name ihres Bruders auf. Aber auch noch andere Personen scheinen in diesen Fall verwickelt zu sein.Bonnie verliert das Vertrauen in ihre Umgebung, in die Menschen. Sie hinterfragt ihre eigene Vergangenheit und trifft zudem auch noch nach langer Zeit ihren Vater wieder. Als Bonnie auch noch überraschend krank wird, scheint das Chaos perfekt und sie vertraut niemandem mehr.Mein Fazit:Joy Fielding hat damit ein Meisterwerk an Spannung und Verwirrung geschaffen. Man muß es wirklich in jeder freien Minute lesen. Und der Schluß ist sowohl überraschend als auch perfekt. Am Ende wird einem jede Einzelheit klar und deutlich.Anmerkung: Die Rezension stammt aus März 2000.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dieses Buch ist bis zum Ende sehr spannend und das Ende ist sehr überraschend, auch wenn schon eher klar ist, dass die Hauptfigur vergiftet wird, wenn man die beschriebenen Symptome genauer betrachtet. Hätte nie erwartet das ein Kind die Mörderin ist und auch eher den Ehemann verdächtigt.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not her best, a who done it mystery. Woman found murdered. Many suspects.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is the first Joy Fielding book I've given a one star rating. I hate to say it was blech, as others may get some entertainment from it, but it was blech to me. The female protagonist once again was a victim ALL THROUGH THE BOOK. I have nothing against Fielding's protrayal of women in crisis, but I am TIRED of the "poor little me" syndrome. Always, some evil person is doing something awful to the protagonist. The dream sequences are getting old too. This makes the 10th book of Fielding's I 've read in a row, so maybe I'm burnt out. I do want to say that the ending was a not what I expected. To Joy Fielding's credit, she always manufactures an original plot and that is why I have stuck with her, but this book was tiring..
