A little too much explanation in the beginning before the "good stuff" appears - I'd like it better if the book began with the last section (beginning with "Her name was Olivia...") - with appropriate revisions, of course. Then back into the description of their marriage, which is necessary but somewhat boring. The hook to keep me reading should smack me in the teeth right up front. As for the cover, I read only Kindle books and never give covers the slightest attention.
