I've enjoyed the author's other books and was looking forward to Sincere Deceit which is a bit different than her other thrillers. I liked it a lot. I loved the way the whirlwind romance between Michael and Frances is portrayed and comes across as genuine. The cynic in me just waited for the other shoe to fall. And of course it does. Frances is quickly pregnant and starts to gradually morph into someone else, not so nice. I loved the way Michel's life starts to fall apart. He really develops as a character. I could not put this down.
