I truly loved this book.
After having read myself into a rut with domestic thrillers and crime novels, I hesitantly checked Couple at No. 9 put at my local library and tore through it in every spare moment I had.
I figured out the big twist about half way through, but looking back, I almost believe that any inquisitive reader is meant to. It did not by any means ruin the big reveal - if anything, it added a layer of heartbreak as you unravel the truth along with our MC.
If family secrets, deception, and mysterious dead bodies (along with the quirky British charm we all know and love) is your jam, I highly recommend picking this one up.
