Frustrating. I loved his first book but felt this one left me irritated and frustrated. I kept losing the story ..... i don't think it flowed well. I finally gave up just a few chapters from the end.

What an amazing book. I think any Louise Penny fan will enjoy this book. You've got a good amount of mystery, back stories that are revealed as the plot develops, and all set in England. Absolutely loved it.
This book is the second in a series, and I did not start with book 1. The author (thankfully) did not reference anything that happened previously that I should know which I really appreciated. The book stands by itself. I do plan to read book 1 later and will update this review if I later feel that I would have been served by reading the books in order.

At first I thought - incredibly clever thriller. Then I think the author became a victim of his attempt to be clever and ended up a tad confused. The end threw in a bunch of curve balls to liven things up a bit - but it seemed to have been done out of panic.
A pretty good plotline though - just confused storytelling.
