I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader. I couldn't get on with the book book, I get it she was tired but reading someone being tired was just exhausting.

There is a fairly detailed description of a home invasion. I would say it is more detailed than the descriptions of murder and the trauma that it causes is a central focus of the book.
