Jameses.” —Toronto SunIn this masterpiece of psychological suspense, the real villain is self?delusion; it inflicts more damage than even the craziest serial?killer. In the case of Emma O’Brea, the delusions concern her marriage: When her husband Charlie disappears it quickly becomes apparent that Emma was the only person in Canada who didn’t recognize how desperate he had been to leave.Then there’s Eddie Addison, an overgrown delivery boy, far from the sharpest knife in the drawer, and dangerously obsessed with a pretty young student.
