This book was very poignant and kept me hooked throughout. However, the multiple plot lines threw me a bit and I found it hard to keep track in places. Parts were also vastly unrealistic. Overall, it was an interesting story with complex characters and covered a variety of important themes.

Very good domestic suspense novel set in Brighton. I will certainly read more by this author.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would from the title and cover (I know, I know...don’t judge etc but we all do!)

A couple of the twists seemed a bit convoluted but otherwise I was engrossed in this - a good grey weekend kind of read.

I loved this book, it definitely got a little heavy, but I completely fell in love with this story. I just want to sit down and read it all over again!

It was ok.

I thought the mystery was a bit of a let down, but I liked the characters.

Gostei da história, mas não me encheu todas as medidas. Também não me prendeu como os outros livros da autora que já li, sendo este o meu menos favorito até agora. Tive imensos problemas em criar empatia com a personagem principal, unicamente porque eu adoro fazer o que ela evita fazer... Por isso, e sendo ela a narradora, não consegui colocar-me na sua pele. Adorei a tia Betty, uma senhora bem diferente do habitual!
