 Ooof. Though the foreshadowing leads you directly through the plot, the writing, the character development, it keeps you turning those pages. I thought I would rate it lower because of the predictability, but when I felt my eyes water towards the final part, I knew it touched me too much to not rate it close to perfect. Look forward to investigating Lisa Jewell's other works. Her fantastic delivery has me hooked.

The mystery was not much of a mystery, it was exactly what you think is going on.
