My first Lucey Foley read, and I can’t wait for the next! 
I really liked the short, but richly-detailed chapters, with each from a different character’s viewpoint. It was fun to read each perspective, with little twists and turns revealed along the way. 
The big twist at the end surprised me, and I did like the way most of the characters’ futures were left on a hopeful note.

I read this book more on a whim rather than it being in my TBR. My partner had just finished it and he doesn’t read loads but he said it was really good and I should try it.

I kind of liked it but it was pretty average for the most part. Some of the reveals were cool but the writing was average. It was pretty slow for the most part and the plot was littered with cliches. It’s your basic thriller that would be sold at the front of an airport WHSmith’s, which is fine it that appeals to you, but it’s just not my taste.
