Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
Determined to avoid the oppressive chatter of the fellow bookstore clerk who's insisting that she and he take their vacations together, Linda Conway makes up a story about visiting Italy with a friend--then drives off alone to the north of England, straight into the velvet clutches of Tom Hoby. Gently pressing her into his itinerary and his bed, Tom, who says he collects people, gradually teases Linda's secret out of her. As she falls under his blandly coercive sway, Linda finds her ties to her old world and her old identity back in Gloucester falling away, and Grant-Adamson (Dangerous Games, 1995, etc.) writes so hypnotically she almost has you believing Linda will allow Tom to maneuver her to a solitary island at the end of the world without raising a hand to save herself. A cunningly understated nightmare, artificial and inexorable as a chess problem. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
