Every Last Secret

Product Information

Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. This is the story of two very different women, Neena Ryder and Cat Winthorpe. Each can tell the other one might be a problem. The battle has begun and only one will win it. Neena, who works for William, beings to become a fixture in their lives. She is constantly around, having get togethers, jogging with William, and making underhanded comments about Cat's cooking and fertility issues. Originally, this book was written from four points of view. The first half was divided between Neena and Cat’s point of view, and the second half was from William and Matt’s points of view. This allowed the author to hide more about the female characters’ actions but it was decided later that there was too much jumping around and it needed to be only two viewpoints.

On the other corner, we have Cat. She seems to have everything. A handsome husband, his love, a beautiful home, and plenty of money to spend as she pleases. After meeting Neena, she knows the woman wants more in life but in the beginning, Cat is very sure of Williams's loyalty. Once Cat realizes that Neena is interested in him as a man, and William is not as responsive to Cat's needs anymore, the game is on.Cat Winthorpe has it all. Good looks, a good looking successful, wealthy husband, a beautiful home, social standing and connections in the community. Neena Ryder is a life coach, who has high aspirations, a loving husband, personal issues and a desire to take what is not hers. Moving next door to the Winthorpes, she soon envies what Cat has and sets her eyes on William, Cat's husband. Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality. Neena know what she wants.......a great job, a home in a prestigious neighborhood, on the board of the wine club...oh and your husband...the question is...does Neena get everything she wants?

Principal photography of the film began in March 2013 in New York City. [9] Release [ edit ] Theatrical [ edit ]

Overall: Normally I give 3 stars to the books with unlikable characters! (I wanted to puke on their heads at several times and sing at them till they die from ear bleeding. -That’s why I am banned from entire karaoke bars in the US!-) But this book was extremely funny, entertaining and it was like watching a box match between Cruella de Vil and Nurse Ratched. The writing is fascinatingly riveting and I couldn’t put it down! So I’m giving extra half stars for the brilliant writing and smart mind of the author that I always admire and I’m rounding up 3.5 stars to 4! When did you realize that the antagonist, Neena, switched to Cat?Did it surprise you? Did you know all along?Did you figure it out when the railing broke? Neena Ryder is the character that you will instantly dislike. She is married to easy going Matt who loves her and treats her like a queen. Neena isn’t happy with their slow rise to the “upper half”, she has her eyes set on a bigger prize. Neena is one nasty woman she is vain and calculating and set on obtaining her targeted prize. Originally, this book was set in North Carolina, by the Research Triangle Park. The publisher requested a change in location to California, which they felt would be more worldly and sophisticated.

Neena, from humble, troubled beginnings is ruthlessly ambitious. She manages to get a job within William’s firm, buy the house next door and generally insinuate herself (and her long suffering husband) into Cat and William’s life. What a fun cat and mouse game! No real likable characters in this one- but one might find themselves rooting for one or the other at times. The fun comes from watching the two women try to outdo one another as the competition heats up between them. Speaking of the end, I was actually really pleasantly surprised and almost touched by it. I expected it to go in a very specific, predictable direction, and Torre didn’t go there, though at first it seemed she would. Between the character insights and her author’s note, I could see certain characters and aspects of the book in a softer light. In the end, did each character got what they deserved? Did you feel anyone got more than they deserved?
