This is definitely a thriller with a psychological bend. If you listen to it, it's even more twisty. The narrators are excellent and bring the story to life. One of the male characters is the most repulsive character I've ever read. Massive trigger warning for very graphic descriptions of domestic violence.

The first half of the book reads entirely different to the second half. Whilst the first half is building an important picture I did feel it dragged. However, the second half is full of unexpected twists,  multiple points of view which keep you engaged and is so well written you don’t want to put it down. It is certainly a thriller not to be missed or DNF’d due to the first half.

a bit hard to get into but by the second half it was hard to put down! Definitely an uncomfortable read at times.
