Not one of Nicci French's best books. Read to the end more because I wanted to know whodunnit but was disappointed with the ending.

This book took me by surprise. It wasn't what I imagined when I read the synopsis, but it was better. I saw character development in Sam, she was funny and courageous, and Elsie was damn right adorable. The twists and turns were ones I did not see coming and I loved the guessing game it had going on. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Right from the off, I didnt enjoy this. Language, for me, was flat and uninspiring.

I liked the book a lot. The writing style is nice and the plot unravels slowly. If the ending was more complete I would have given it 4 stars. I get the end, but I feel like it isn't really finished. And yet it is. Perhaps it is the wish that in books everything gets solved and that just doesn't always happen. Still, it's a good book.
