My review -
Amy
wakes up in a strange room. She’s locked in with a freezer full of food and a
wardrobe of clothes which look like her own but are new. She’s been abducted by
her stalker. We know this from the start. She’s in mourning for the love of her
life and bumped into a man at a gig where she sang with her friend’s band – The
Butterfly Effect. He’s creepy, manipulative and she regrets giving him any
positive signals. There are two people looking out for her. One is Olga, her
friend from the band; the other is her late boyfriend’s best mate, a man Olga
can’t stand. Amy is conflicted.
This
is an unusual ‘stalker story’ in that the abduction has already happened by the
time we enter the narrative. We watch as Amy works out, with horror, what has
gone on in her life and how difficult it is making choices of friends. I
enjoyed the tension set up in the story and Amy’s initial denials of what she
eventually finds to be the truth. A very good, well-written read.
