I enjoyed that the who-dunnit aspect didn't turn out the way I'd expected and (without spoiling it) flipped the stereotype on it's head.
I love the then/now perspectives and the way the story is told from multiple points of view.
Lisa Jewell is a terrific writer who comes up with chillingly good plots. This book is no exception.
