This was a tough read, there were parts I really enjoyed but overall it was quite a let down. I felt like the author was trying to put too many twists in, and it made it hard to keep track and just quite a disappointing ending. I enjoyed that there were some Gaelic words in there though!

A very solid mystery/thriller with loads of twists and turns the whole way through. This was a fun, breezy read.

SO GOOD! This book had me on my toes the entire time. Every time you thought you knew where the story was headed, BAM, it went straight in the complete opposite way. For anyone who likes “closed door mysteries” it’s a must!!
