Good not great. The “twist” wasn’t it for me and the amount of frustration to get to a pay off wasn’t worth it.

The beginning chapters were SO tell not show; it was hard to get through. But the twist and characters were pretty good, so it was worth staying with. Will I read the next one? *shrugs* I do really like the gardener guy, so maybe if I get to see more of him.

I typically look at a list of trigger warnings and have no concerns. I went in blind and ooofff, I was uncomfy! Such an incredible book, twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat from the start!

Up there with my favourite thrillers - so much so that after my first listen, I started again immediately. Very cleverly crafted; I did not see the twists coming. It made me feel strong things about the characters and what was going on - a sign of a great read. Be prepared - it's very dark and graphic but will leave your jaw on the floor.
