Here are a few of its many sins:- Flaccid, lifeless prose.- Crammed to bursting with tedious, frivolous detail about the narrator's tedious, frivolous suburban life.- Protagonist can hear everything said by someone atop a cliff, over a raging thunderstorm, as she is drowning in a violent river. (No spoilers here; that's in the prologue.)- Clumsy, inept foreshadowing that destroys any chance for drama. They say when your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Well, this book’s foreshadowing is what happens when the author has nothing but a big, heavy hammer: "This isn’t over yet. I feel something worse coming on. Only this time it’s not going to be a tree or a fire. It’s going to be less obvious, something insidious."- Contrived, wooden dialog. See above.- A double homicide is investigated by a fire marshal. Don't most towns have some kind of department that specializes in police work? What's it called, again? Someone should tell the author.- Every female character is shallow, beautiful, hyper-sexualized, and a threat to the narrator’s marriage. The narrator rarely visualizes another woman without specifying which sexy outfit she pictures her in. If written by a man, one would wonder if the author had ever met an actual woman, or just researched them by watching General Hospital.- “I grabbed a brick from the Kimballs’ side garden, and dropped it in my sweatshirt pocket as I climbed.” One wonders if the author has ever met an actual brick, or just assumed they are made portable for the suburban woman on the go.- The fire marshal (rather hilariously) spoils the ending to Backdraft. Does that mean spoilers are acceptable here? Because I identified her perpetrator in chapter 6.I don't like to be so negative, but this book is so over-praised that it seems necessary to give warning. It's possible that a passable writer lives somewhere inside the author, because occasionally a decent bit of phrasing gets through the filter, but this book isn't her voice.

This book was all over the place; too much going on that wasn't integral to the plot. The action didn't ring true. For example, the main character finds a photo of her husband with another woman. She claims she doesn't know the woman, then later realizes it was her next door neighbor and friend. Based on that photo from his past, she's suddenly thinking of divorce and receiving emotional support from a woman she just met. There were too many characters and none of them were fleshed out. I kept feeling a desire to shake the main character! Or maybe myself, for reading the book.
275 of 326 people found the following review helpful. Suspense Thriller? Try Harlequin Romance. By Mc Another plucked from the sea of mediocrity. Surrounded by able-bodied male neighbors, "super woman" climbs the ladder to rescue the neighbor child from the second story bedroom of the burning house; gets clobbered by a burning timber -- that came from where? And later from her hospital bed tearfully laments that she could have done more. "I drew a shuddering breath, tears slipping down my cheeks." And on and on with the cloying self-pity."Despite his disheveled appearance (from what?), he gave off a forceful masculinity, a mesmerizing charisma. His brilliant blue eyes were filled with concern..." "Johnny wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, his firm chest pressed against my back, and I gave into his warmth." Suspense thriller? Try Harlequin romance.You only get what you pay for and this was a freebie.
