Really unexpected twists, especially the ending. Makes you question every character. Doesn’t really get interesting til after the 100th page unfortunately.
OMG INSANE ACTUALLY INSANE
It’s currently 12:30 in the morning and I just finished this book. I could not put it down AT ALL!!!
Throughout this book was singled handedly guessed and gave about every character a motive to the murders and somehow missed the crucial MAIN KILLER
So many twists and turns, red hierings and deliberate misleading!!
I went from, it’s Anna then it’s Jack to Anna and Jack killed their child, then to priya (not gonna lie she still creeps me out! Like she was weirdly close to Jack), then Richard, to then linking Richard’s children’s had blonde hair! Who else had blonde hair, Catherine Kelly!! to then wondering what happened to cat jones because she was a very important character at the start, to finally connecting it and thinking Catherine was the actual killer. To then we gobsmacked and whiplashed in the face and find out that Anna’s mum was the killer the whole time!!!!!!!!!!
Never guessed the old lady with dementia (NOT)!!!!!!
the plot twist OMG. It is FABULOUS.
Love the "unreliable narrator" thrillers
Feeney somehow managed to pull off carefully laid clues and great explanations of motive. I was literally thinking just about every character was the killer and never actually guessed the real killer till the end!
Some things still left a little unexplained but that’s what I love about thrillers sometimes, you get to make and come to your own conclusion as to what happened

I couldn't put it down, but I don't think it came together as well as it should have. Perhaps I'm mad because I figured out whodunnit pretty early, but wanted to be wrong. I took note of some good lines:
"She always [wears] ironed blouses, or whatever it's called when a woman wears a shirt."
"Take care of the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves."
"Youth fools us into thinking there are infinite paths to choose from in life; maturity tricks us into thinking there is only one."

Once again Alice does a great job keeping you guessing until the very last chapter! Love the back and forth writing style for this as well.
This book was a big old waste of an afternoon. I solemnly swear I’m giving up cheap thrillers no matter how good the blurb is. * Crosses heart and hopes that better mysteries will be written in the future *
I should’ve known when “HER” told us in one of the very few chapters that she was an unreliable narrator. The “HIM” chapters once again made me concerned about the state of policing. Please, please tell me someone as mentally f-ed up as Jack would not be a top detective.
The author spends so much time sprinkling the water with red herrings that I can’t say I was surprised when the giant shark plot twist jumped up to bite me. I guessed who was behind it even if I skimmed the last hundred pages in disgust.
Don’t waste your time.

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, His & Hers. Which means someone is always lying” In this case, a third one!
Her - Anna Andrews, a BBC Presenter, a dream job that she would do anything to keep it. She was asked to cover a murder in a small sleepy town where she grew up. Little did she know that she used to be friends with the victim.
His - DCI Jack Harper working as a lead detective in the murder where he knew the victim and became a suspect in his own murder investigation
His & Her - As they present and investigate the murder, they became involved again and one of the them is keeping secrets and not telling the truth.
I listened to this as an audiobook from Netgalley and I just love the way the narrators read it - slow, clear and full of emotions. The killer voice was scary and creepy. In the first few chapters, the author slowly established the relationship of the main characters, but it will get you hooked up right away. It will leave you questioning who the killer is and will not know it until the event end!

3.75 stars
This was an enjoyable thriller that really kept me on my toes. The story felt almost like a slasher film in its story telling and as a huge lover of slasher films, I had a great time reading it.
The story had a great atmosphere and was not overly predictable which is always a good thing with a thriller.
Overall, I highly enjoyed this and recommend checking it out.
