📚 Book Review 📚
I am so disappointed… that I’ve waited this long to read a John Marrs book!! What on earth have I been doing with my life? 🤣
From the prologue when a disconnected voice growls to the person bound and gagged inside the bonfire, “you killed me first”, I was hooked.
The story centres around three women; Liv, Anna and Margot and each narrate the unfolding events.
Liv is the newest resident to the cul-de-sac. She is blonde, beautiful and has designs on opening a new yoga studio in a change from a career in banking.
Anna is quiet, mousy and a talented jewellery designer who doubts her abilities and who is overshadowed by her neighbour, Margot.
Margot is an ex girl band member, a home wrecker and never has a chipped nail or a hair out of place.
Each one has their own secrets.
Each one has lied.
But who will be killed first?
An absolute diamond of a psychological thriller, littered with clues, red herrings, reveals and twisty turns. I LOVED it! Make sure that this is on your list, you won’t regret it.
And a word of advice, check out the neighbours if you are moving to a quiet cul-de-sac ..
