I wanted to read this book because it was a thriller, and I absolutely love thrillers. This one did not disappoint.
The reason why I love thrillers so much is due to all the twists and turns.
There are several characters who contribute to the lead protagonist. First, you, of course, have Dolly, the "she" referred to in the Title. She is out of jail after her crimes from previous books. The back story, which I assume is what the other books from her are about . . . they're incredible and almost unbelievable. Dolly has a collection of diamonds she stole, and they've been waiting for her since she went to jail.
Although I did not read any of her other novels, I did not feel like I was missing out on any major story. She touches on the other books enough that I understand what happened and why it's relevant to this story.
All around Dolly are these different women who are all desperate to get out of their current situation. We go through their backstories and enter into their lives to see why it's so important they get away from their situations. The stories they weave create a web -- with Dolly in the middle. It's clear that's not where she wants to be, but she eventually relents and allows them to help her.
It CAN be difficult to follow, as we follow all the girls in this story, not just Dolly. But once you understand it's more than one narrator it's easy to grasp, and you end up craving the different points of view.
So many juicy twists and turns, and I really did not see most of them coming. I thought this was a fantastic introduction to this author, and I'm left eager to read more of her novels and learn more about these girls as well as the other three widows she committed the diamond heist with.
