Such a great read! I could not put this book down which made my plan of reading before bed to unwind a bit of a tricky one. The style reminded me of Janice Hallett's first book "The Appeal" which I definitely preferred to "The Twyford Code". I loved the way the story unfolded through a series of different media - what's app messages, transcripts and book scripts. There were a couple of points where I thought I'd solved the mystery but was still surprised by the eventual conclusion. Very well done and particularly loved how Ellie's role evolved over time and the social commentary woven throughout.
