How on earth do you review a book like this?! That said, I’ll give it a go.
The story itself is very shocking; two young children who come home from school to find that their father has murdered their mother. It was fascinating, yet truly sad. I was pleased to see the chapters alternate in perspective from Isobel to her brother Alex. The book did drag on a little though, and I felt it could have been shorter in places. Also, when the book reaches its conclusion, Alex and Isobel are still only just into university. I would be interested in reading more on their life once they’ve perhaps reached their 30s and we are able to see how they fare going on to have their own partners and / or families.

I loved this book! BUT it wasn’t what I expected. I thought it was going to focus more on the dad and his influence. That being said this was very gripping.
