Kit Owens, an ambitious chemistry student, wins a place in a prestigious research lab, working under Dr. Severin, a leading scientist on premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Diane Fleming, a fellow student who is brilliant and ambitious, joins as a rival, and Kit recognizes her from a secret they shared in high school. As competition grows, Kit has to decide whether to reveal what Diane did, and the two women are pulled into a dangerous bond. Abbott builds a psychological thriller around ambition and complicity.
Readers who like tense, character-driven stories about women's rivalry in science and ambition will find a chilly, fast-moving book. It suits fans of dark psychological suspense.
Clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
