I read this in virtually one sitting - the luxury of school holidays! It’s a real page-turner, with plenty of unexpected twists that keep surprising. Our everyman hero, George, is in his 40s and leading an unexceptional life, with little drive, and only his cat Nora waiting at home. That is, until his college sweetheart, Liana, suddenly reappears in his life. She’s scared, and needs his help…..or does she? She’s a Classic femme fatale, but poor George is naive enough to think he can be her knight in shining armour. As the reader, you follow helplessly as he is drawn deeper into her tangled web. Very enjoyable read. I’ll definitely read Swanson’s next novel, The Kind worth Killing.
