Not a bad book, though I felt some bits of dialogue were oddly childish and poorly-constructed. I saw the twist coming but rather than that ruining the book for me, it actually made me consider more hypotheses -
SpoilerI spent some of the book thinking maybe Beth had actually finished off Katie herself, and that while Tom thought he had been playing Beth with their meeting, she was actually playing him.
. While this didn't happen, the book still had me thinking. I do think it seemed a little suspicious that the police didn't investigate
SpoilerCamilla's death when they realised the seven-years-apart connection of Tom's murders, given that she also had an "accidental" death that Adam at least found suspicious. I would have expected Adam to raise his concern with the police, rather than allow Beth to dismiss it so quickly. But maybe he liked Beth more than he liked Camilla...

I loved this! The different POV’s were great and gave insight into each character and how they were feeling throughout the progression of the story and I was definitely left gasping and surprised at some of the twists and turns! 

Would definitely recommend!!

So slow and Beth is the most unlikeable character ever. Your husband is a potential murderer and you're concerned about what the yummy mummies think of you?! Ended up skim-reading the last 60% of the book.
