At Julia Mallet's 35th birthday celebration, a harmless party game goes terribly awry. The next day Julia's neighbor is brutally and senselessly slain--the first victim of a psychopath who will kill again and again. And the maniac has left a calling card that only Julia can read--the result of a post-hypnotic suggestion she inadvertently lodged in the subconscious minds of her closest friends the night before. And now Julia knows without a doubt that one of the six people she loves and trusts most in the world is a murderer.

I was quite surprised with this book, it was really great and better than I had expected. It had that ‘Agatha Christie’ element to it, where there were 13 to dinner, but who is the murderer. In this case who is the murderer after the hypnotist releases something bad unknowing. I never guessed who it was and all the characters alibis are very weak. There is a love interest too between Julia and Ray the detective on the case, but is it going to be a happy ending for Julia ? Well I’m not saying but I would highly recommend this book as it was a fab read. ( )
