Surprised to find Laurel rather an engaging character. Didn't know Lisa Jewell could write one, tbh!! 

This served its precise purpose of being the thriller distraction I needed, hence my rating.  Helen Duff was an excellent narrator. It was exactly what I needed.

Pretty shit way to use your main Irish character - legit no reason for her to be Irish, other than being a British author with implicit biases.

Quick easy read, found it to be enjoyable but very predictable. I found Poppy's character to not be very believable but otherwise it was a good book.  Finished it in a day
