Basic Premise: When Emma Holden goes out with girlfriends to her "hen" party (bachelorette party, as we in the States would all it), she has no idea that her fiance Dan has gone missing and his brother has been brutally beaten and left for dead. Dan becomes the primary suspect in the case, but as the mystery unfolds, Emma begins to look like the next target.
This was a fast read, and I really needed a fast read. The last several books I've managed to finish have been yawners. This one I read in less than a week, which is really saying something considering the schedule I've been keeping. I (obviously) loved the fact that it took place in London, and that it was full of phrases like "hen party" (or the "stag party," which is the bachelor party), "catching the tube," turning on the "telly," packing the "boot" of the car, and throwing things in the "rubbish bin." How charming :) I liked Emma, and while I often felt like she was (to borrow a British phrase) "being a bit thick," she was pretty believable. The plot was not overly complicated - indeed, it was a bit predictable, but I like a bit of predictability. It makes me feel smart. There's a sequel out, and I'm interested in reading it, as this book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, but it costs, and I don't think it was good enough to spend fun money on, so for now, I'm going to stick with the free stuff.
