A fast read once you get into. The different POVs are a lot and I’m not sure they were all necessary but Helen Grace is a solid character that I plan on continuing to read.

This is my first M J Arlidge book, and I have been blown away. This is the first crime thriller in a long time, where I genuinely did not have a clue, not even a tiny incline of who was behind these ridiculously torturous crimes. Question after question went unanswered. And even at the end, there's no happy ending! Which is how it should be with a crime thriller, people get murdered throughout, why should it have a happy ending!! Will be recommending, and I will be looking out for more of her books!!
