From AudioFile
Fielding's cunningly crafted novel translates splendidly to audio. Hicks's sensitive yet matter-of-fact narration perfectly portrays the unlovable Amanda Travis. Known as "Puppet" in childhood, Amanda is a high-powered criminal attorney in Palm Beach, who at 28 is twice divorced and enjoys sleeping with married men. When her first ex-husband calls to say her mother killed a man in their hometown of Toronto, Amanda must confront the shocking reality of her past. Hicks's pacing makes the dialogue and Amanda's thoughts easy to distinguish. She easily portrays Amanda's growing frustration with her mother's evasions.

Product Description
Amanda Travis is a successful twenty-eight-year-old criminal attorney who races through her glamorous life with very few concerns. Her estranged mother, dead father, two ex-husbands and a past love that once consumed her are just distant memories now. But when ex-husband #1 calls to tell her that her mother has shot a man at point-blank range in the lobby of Toronto's Four Seasons hotel, Amanda knows she must return to her hometown to race her demons and uncover the hidden facts behind her mother's violent outburst. All too soon, she is drawn into the dark, strange power her mother seems to hold over everyone. Her childhood nickname, Puppet, echoing in her ears, Amanda must finally confront the past in order to be free of the ties that bind and learn to stand on her own.
