Another read from a new author. And it definitely didn’t disappoint! I was abit worried as this was the third book in the series, but it could have been a standalone book. The book alternated between the present with POVs from Detective Stephanie king and Nancy, and then the past pov from Nancy, which helped link everything together. At first I didn’t understand the significance or reason behind the in-depth POVs from Detective King but then it all started to make sense.
This was a fast paced read that kept me engaged throughout, the plot was exciting and did get quite dark in some places. The chapters were also not too long which made it easier to read. There were so many twists throughout the book and I was not expecting the twists at the end, I was shocked! I thought the characters were pretty solid and interesting, and I loved the setting of the book being in Cornwall.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book more than I expected to, and I’ll be looking into Rachel Abbotts other books.
