Its been a month since I read it and I forgot they were brother and sister. She was as nutty as a fruitcake and very manipulative.I think so. Less relationship stuff, and more thriller stuff. Quite a ride at the end.
Anyone not finished reading yet, close your eyes, as there'll be un-spoiler-tagged spoilers in my next comments.

I guess I was on the right track when I posted Monday about my suspicions about Slater, as well as Garrett's wife.
Slater seemed shady from the first moment he showed up early in the book. But the author did it in a similar way to how Jay startled Ellen on their first meeting, so though both seemed suspicious, neither more than the other. But as the book progressed and Slater was always by himself, he came across as more suspicious.
And Karen, I wondered about her after she mentioned how Garrett hadn't even liked being a child himself. Of course he might have told her about his childhood, but my spidey senses started tingling when I read that. However, I would NEVER have guessed Karen was Garrett's SISTER !!! That was a shock, but also explains why she and Garrett couldn't have children. Well, I guess technically they could have, but thankfully the author didn't go there.
That was strange, maybe it was meant to show the close bond between mother and son although that bond didnt come across as being any stronger elsewhere.
Luckily for me both books were in the omnibus edition so I didn't have to buy them individually. On the front cover it says Night Sins first published in 1995 and Guilty as Sin in 1996. Must have been frustrating for those that bought Night Sins when it first came out.
