I never read thrillers, because I'd rather err on the side of missing something I'd have liked rather than read something that will scar me for life (I've never quite recovered from reading
The Tell-Tale Heart back in junior high

). But this sounds like a risk worth taking, so I've bought it and added it to my TBR pile anyway. Thanks!
If I like it as much as I expect to, I'll be sure to write a review to let other fraidycats like me know.
