THE TWISTS. THE TURNS. THE REVEALS. 

I thought this was YA by the cover, when I picked it up for 50p from a charity shop. But goodness me, it's gruesome. And brutal. 

I struggled with the slow pace at the start of the book compared to the fast pace at the end of the book - that'd why it's not 5*. 

It would make a cracking historical thriller film if the pace could be evened out.
