The author Carolyn Woods met the utterly charming Mark Acklom and was totally consumed by love for him so gave up virtually everything, her job, friends, family, home and even gave him every penny she had.
A grand master at deception he conned her out of herofe basically.
Only when she had lost everything did Carolyn realise how she had been deceived and then she had to undergo the long, arduous process of trying to get him convicted and rebuild her life out of the ruins.
I really enjoyed this.
I just felt totally incredulous that the lady couldn't see what was happening under her nose but I guess it's easy looking at the situation from the outside when you aren't living it and you are taken in by a credible and accomplished liar.
This was such a fascinating read of how deceitful and manipulative someone can be and actually quite scary too.
