J.P. Pomare, The Last Guests

 




- If there's one message from this book it's 'don’t cheat on your husband'.

- I was disappointed in it. It's a rather ordinary psychological thriller about a couple, their backstories, and the tense relationship that develops because of their secrets. 

- At the heart of the story is an act by the wife that totally lacks credibility. 

- The resolution at the end is stagey, melodramatic and all tricks and mirrors. Emotionally it's far from satisfactory.

- Pomare's previous novels are far better, particularly In the Clearing.
