Another great read: masterful prose, economy of style, pacey, tense, with a brilliant subversion at the end. About what we've come to expect from Simone.

Thanks H. I'll admit I've had mixed reactions to this - mostly good but one of my reviewers did say it is, 'a common theme'.

Well, if you choose to look at things that way, every story written is a 'common theme'. It's the rendering that makes it interesting.

True. There is no such thing as an original story. I think everyone knows the probable ending - it's how it happens.
