A fantastic read...

This was my first experience of Gillian White. And I must say; I will definetly be reading her other works. Infact, this book got me rather excited, and I look forward to purchasing further books by White. The story is good. Rose and her husband Michael; the perfect couple. Jessie and Daisy; the couple's rather bizzare and strange daughters. Dinah; Rose's interfering and blunt mother. Jasmine; Jessie's rather 'manly' and religious friend. And Belinda; the twisted focus of the novel. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but I found it to be written with suspense, and rather dark humour. I laughed aloud during much of this book, much to the dismay of fellow passengers on the London Underground. Rose is an excellent character; almost demented by her insecurities. The commentary she makes on life is hilarious. Then the plot gets nasty. Gripping, well-told, and funny, this book is a must have for those who like their thrillers tinged with a slick of black comedy. Go on, you know you want to buy it. I should also add that I usually read a book in a month or two. This book I read over a weekend.
