4.5

I liked this book even more than The Mother in Law , I think Sally Hepworth is going to be an auto read author for me. I guessed the mystery fairly early in but i still really enjoyed the book. Most of the characters are horrible but I don’t mind that. I really enjoyed unraveling the truths form the lies and I enjoy unreliable narrators  . I felt the pacing was really nice and there were many times that I got so tense and so angry at the characters or what was going on, which for me is a mark of a great book. 

You will not like this book if you don’t like unreliable narrators or need to have redeemable characters.
