sharon_1963 's review for:

The Couple At No. 9 by Claire Douglas

4.0

medium-paced

For the first 180 pages, I was seriously considering giving up on this book as it just seemed to be dragging and not going anywhere, but someone convinced me to keep going, and I am glad I did (thank you, Francesca...if you are reading this review, you were correct). The second half did pick up in pace, and the twist that the author provided made all the effort of the first part of the book worth it. One of the twists I managed to work out, but everything else that was revealed left me shaking my head. How authors come up with these twists time after time will forever amaze me.
