The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
3.0
The Avenue wakes to discovers one day that Mrs Creasy has disappeared. Thus follows close knit neighbours doing there best to discover what has happened to Mrs Creasy, whilst trying to hide their own secrets and lies.
This book came very close to being a 'did not finish'. The story itself was good and quite enjoyable. However I found the first 200'ish pages to be over descriptive, making sure that every reference to the 1970's was included and ticked off a to be included list. I was pleased that this seemed to subside through the remainder of the book, which meant that I skipped less paragraphs and enjoyed the book more.
I did enjoy the story being told from the perspective of 10 year old Grace in 1976. But found the ending to be rather disappointing and unexplained, well at least to my satisfaction. Gave it 3 stars, if you lived through the hot Summer of 1976 I'm sure you will enjoy this book.
