This book was a slow burner with the story 'twist' unfolding towards the very end. It maintained a tense atmosphere and kept me very on edge throughout which I didn't really enjoy. However, I did think the character development and particularly the exploration of the complicated relationship of the three half-sisters was well done. The timeline alternated between present day and 20 years prior. This type of feature can sometimes be confusing but the author managed to do it in a way that was easy enough to follow.
