I was really looking forward to reading this book after what I’d heard about it. I’m a fan of dark stuff that puts you on the edge of your seat and, whilst the content was extremely distressing, I still felt it fell a little flat for what I was expecting. I think it could have been a lot more creepy and tense than it was. However, it was still an enjoyable read. To summarise, it is the story of two distant sisters who come together when one of their husbands gets murdered. However, both sisters are still not over the disappearance of their sister which caused their father to commit suicide before the book commences. When investigating the murder of Claire’s husband, they find out some very worrying things about his life that he kept hidden from her. Would recommend if you’re into crime novels.
