I'm a big fan of Sager's books anyway so I knew that i'd love this one.
It does start off a bit slow, but once it gets going it goes full speed ahead.
Following 2 similar situations that happened 15 years apart, it seems so obvious who the culprit is. However, I had my doubts about the fact that everyone assumed it would be Emma. Saying that, I didn't guess the actual whodunnit - the first reveal was a complete surprise for me but the second one, I feel now that it was more obvious after finishing the book than when I was reading it.
But that ending! That was one hell of a way to end it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I thought I would. I was completely absorbed in this book, I literally did not lift my head whilst reading it.
