I read this because I’d seen some rave reviews. I was really disappointed however.
The book started well and I enjoyed the initial pace and the characterisation. It soon went downhill for me though. I predicted the ending long before it came and hated how it descended into unrealistic melodrama, with the characters becoming unbelievable.
Not for me and I won’t be reading any others in the series. A shame as it started really well. Just my opinion of course.

Listened as an audiobook. Another crime thriller from Joy Ellis. I am enjoying getting to know the characters better with each book and have a good picture of them in my mind. Again, it was excellently read by Richard Armitage who has an amazing talent of switching between characters and accents.
