Easy 3.5 Stars. Sad and harrowing story around trafficking. This got quite tense on the last 60 or so pages. 
Really enjoyed this book.

A potential to turn into a 5 star if I continue to think about this book as much as I think I will. This made me stop and think. Massively. I loved this book and all the twists and turns. It wasn’t a book I expected to enjoy, but I really did. Picked this up by accident as I had just read “The Last Passenger” also by Will Dean. Another fantastic novel by him which gripped me.
