Polly Costello, or whatever her name is today, is a study in abused women trying to get their own back. She seems to go from one victim, abuser, rescuer triangle to another. Polly is a very good manipulator. She does know where she wants to end up, but none of the men in her life can figure it out--until it's too late. It's also questionable whether Polly is sure whether she's going to get where she wants to be. Until the end, I couldn't figure out where that was, and Lippman wasn't giving any hints. We see the thoughts of the major characters from their viewpoints and their view of the other characters; but, until the end, all we can figure out is where they're going to intersect and maybe crash. If you like puzzles, this is a great read.
