I like Sally Hepworth’s domestic thrillers, this one just felt a little like a stretch compared to the others. (Spoilers ahead)

Like, since Max acquired his finances in a fishy way, wouldn’t the funding going to the girls be subject to weird laws with the police given the murder? And Gabe really isn’t going to prison for murder, that’s just going to be something he lives with? I’m not sure I loved this ending. And also I wish they did a bit more with mental illness or helping Gabe. Yes he has to help himself, and I’m glad Pippa didn’t get trapped in an unhappy marriage where she’s caring for him, but I wish we had resolution showing he got help somehow.
