Choppier than I’m used to from Keyes, and less likeable characters. But when it came down to it, I still didn’t want it to end.

Took me a while to get into and didn’t find it as much of a page turner as other Keyes books.
Felt there was less distinction between the characters and a clear weighting on certain characters.
Didn’t enjoy the shifts in some of the dynamics.
Still enjoyed as I do for most books by Keyes :)

This was a joy to listen to during lockdown. Sewing for the NHS with Marian reading to me in the background.
