As Rick explains inAs Rick explains in his Listen Blurb, Gwin’s actions are shaped by her struggle with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), a condition that fuels episodes of rage, deceit, emotional abuse, and even murder. Her brilliance makes her seductive. Her charm makes her dangerous. Her disorder makes her unstoppable.d into a disturbing yet enthralling question: How far can someone go when they believe their violence is justified?
One of the most striking dynamics of the novel is the tragic downfall of Gwin’s husband, Eddie, who becomes the ultimate victim of her psychological warfare.
