On one level this story is fantastic. It is writing in a easy, flowing style which takes the reader in. Some of the tool choices let it down.

The Light of Day tells us about Angela and her husband, Mike. They once had a loving relationship, but as in so many relationships something went wrong along the way, and love has turned to hate.

Angela and Mike both decide to do something about their unhappiness, not the conventional thing - split up - but something much more sinister.

The description of their happy relationship while probably necessary isn�t used later in the story. This could be just me, but I feel that this sort of lead up should lead to later angst, to either of the characters questioning their aberrant behaviour, neither do.

The methods Martin uses for both Angela and Mike�s plan are effective in terms of access and image, but ineffective in terms of plausibility. If the reader is willing to suspend belief, that�s ok, but often in a story like this the reader will question detail.

Despite what I�ve said this is a good read, and I liked the ride the end took me on!
