Don't tell anyone your secret - with a surprise ending !

I don't think I know anyone who lives this lifestyle. I have a fantasy that these people really do exist. I hope not.The story was so well written that I felt as if I were right there in the room as all this was unfolding and, of course, there was nothing I could do to stop them. This was a story of extremes. The good was so good, the bad was so horrible and permeated so many lives, the surprise really was that. There was a note inside the back of the jacket that John Lucas was writing another novel. I hope it's just taking him a long time to do and that there will be another. I look forward to reading more of his ideas.
