This was another quick little palate cleanser while I’m in the middle of a longer, heavier read—and honestly, it hit the spot. It didn’t fly by quite as fast as the other Alibis collection book I read, but I still enjoyed it!
It also wasn’t quite what I expected. I went in thinking it would focus more on the ex-wives themselves, but the story veered in a different direction. Still, the twist at the end genuinely surprised me, and Sally Hepworth always keeps me guessing. A solid, bingeable thriller that’s perfect when you need something quick and twisty.

Could have been an actual novel. I'm a big fan of Sally Hepworth but the shortness of this made it feel quite clunky with some obvious plot holes.

This is a quick read. I personally preferred Freida's Death Row, the first in the series, but this was solid and had a surprise waiting for me.

Fun little mystery that was a bit far fetched and improbable but I enjoyed it. Lots of characters to follow, like an Agatha Christie novel, but the only one actually fleshed out was the victim.
