There are lots of different twists in this mystery, thriller, my mind had all different thoughts trying to sort out what was happening, and the ending was not what I expected at all, a short story that I did in one sitting, it is fast paced and has lots happening in, characters that add to the story. If anything, it ends abruptly and was a little on the short side in terms of resolution, but all in all, a satisfying read and a terrific way to finish a weekend of reading.

With a few red herrings and unexpected twists, this is one engaging read that you won't want to put down.

My only negative is that whilst it does pack a punch in a short period of time, I was left wishing that the backstory of some of the characters had been fleshed out and this was a full length novel. This was the most ridiculous book, once’s you finish it you understand why characters are certain ways and it does make sense sense but that doesn’t change the way I felt about the first 80% of the book.

Maybe I'm just thick, but I didn't get the twist at the end and can think of no plausible explanation for how it could have happened, so this left it feeling unfinished for me. I found the protagonist needy, overbearing and in general unlikeable which might be a ick for some readers, but I don't mind especially if they're interesting and it's a bonus when it all makes so much sense at the end.

Twists come out of nowhere and the high drama of the final few chapters is edge-of-the-seat stuff' New Zealand Women's Weekly'A twisty small-town mystery with a protagonist I didn't want to let go' IAN RANKIN'The pay-off is criminally good .

Lou is out of her mind with worry, but she can’t go to the police, because she has secrets of her own.Weak and unsubstantial - as evidenced by the way that almost a third of the paperback is actually a seven chapter preview of his next book! Having a 19 month and 6 month old babies, and also being raised as a Mormon, I had multiple points of relevance with the book AND those twist…. The whole story with Jessica fascinated me and I so wish it had gone down that path and not where it went.
