Wow, what a read. I found it slightly slow to begin with as there were so many characters points of views to be introduced. However, once I got into the book I was hooked. I really loved the character Anna and felt a lot of sympathy for her. You could easily imagine that situation happening especially to a widow in such an isolated place. I loved all the twists in the book and didn't see them all coming.

I'd highly recommend if you enjoy a psychological who done it book. The writing flowed really nicely, characters were great and the storyline was brilliant.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, the wonder author Gilly and random house uk for the advance copy to read and review.

Absolutely amazed by this book. For some reason my expectations were low. Boy was I wrong.

I loved everything about the book. I had thought the plot would be superficial and pedestrian. It was anything but!!

The plot was actually superb. The characters were all intriguing in many different ways. Full credit to the author for the work put into this book!

Now the ending - how good was that! I had such a big smile on my face. I still do when I think about what happened.
