Mr Maclean : Now, Mr Brightman, you had a relationship with Miss Bailey, is that correct?
Mr Brightman : Yes.
Mr Maclean : For how long?
Mr Brightman : I met her at the end of October in 2003. We were seing each other until the middle of June last year.
Mr Maclean : And how did you meet?
Mr Brightman : At work. I was working on an operation and I happened to meet her through the course of that.
Mr Maclean : And you formed a relationship?
Mr Brightman : Yes.
Mr Maclean : You said that the relationship ended in June. Was that a mutual decision?
Mr Brightman : Things have been going wrong for a while. Catherine was very jealous of the time I spent away from her working. She was convinced I was having an affair.
Mr Maclean : And were you?

Je crois que ce livre m'a bien appris comment ouvrir et refermer une porte, bien vérifier l'avoir fermée, et encore et encore. Je sais comment rentrer et sortir de mon appartement sans risquer de me faire cambrioler, aucun soucis. Plus sérieusement, cette histoire nous met dans la peau et les pensées de Cathy et de sa relation tumultueuse et malsaine présente et passée avec son compagnon Lee. On apprend beaucoup sur les rouages d'une relation basée sur le pouvoir, la manipulation, la peur. On comprend pourquoi pour toutes ces femmes, ce n'est pas si simple de partir quand l'autre devient violent. Je ne dirais pas que c'est un thriller vraiment, car il était assez calme même si j'étais quand même beaucoup dans le suspense à certains moments. L'atmosphère est étrange, on en vient à nous aussi avoir envie de nous échapper, mais de quoi ? Une bonne lecture.

Résumé
When young, pretty Catherine Bailey meets Lee Brightman, she can't believe her luck. Gorgeous, charismatic, and a bit mysterious, Lee seems almost too perfect to be true.
But what begins as flattering attention and spontaneous, passionate sex transforms into raging jealousy, and Catherine soon discovers that Lee's dazzling blue eyes and blond good looks hide a dark, violent nature. Disturbed by his increasingly erratic, controlling behavior, she tries to break it off; turning to her friends for support, she's stunned to find they don't believe her. Increasingly isolated and driven into the darkest corner of her world, a desperate Catherine plans a meticulous escape.
Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine—now Cathy—is trying to build a new life in a new city. Though her body has healed, the trauma of the past still haunts her. Then Stuart Richardson, her attractive new neighbor, moves in. Encouraging her to confront her fears, he sparks unexpected hope and the possibility of love and a normal life.
Until the day the phone rings . . .
