Really fun book about a female serial killer bumping off members of her own family. Very enjoyable to read a book where you're not really rooting for the protagonist, but neither do you want her to be caught. Kind of a similar dynamic to The Talented Mr Ripley. She's really unlikeable, almost no redeeming features, but you're almost on her side.

4 stars.

started good but the end annoyed me a lot, had so much potential as a plot but i don’t think it quite made it unfortunately

this one took me wayyyyyy too long to read. I personally didn’t like the format of the book and the plot wasn’t there enough for me to - the end was an okay plot twist but also felt flat for me.

Definitely fast paced and entertaining! An interesting commentary on the British class system with an underwhelming ending.
