I'm not an extensive reader of the thriller genre, so I wasn't sure what I'd be getting with this book. Maybe because I'm a relative newcomer, I didn't guess the "big shocking thing" until it was on top of me, right there on the page (or in my ear, as it were - I read this as an audiobook), and it WAS shocking. I guessed a few of the further twists and turns, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ending - I think sometimes in these sorts of books, once the mystery is finally, fully revealed, the author doesn't know how to bring it to a close, but that wasn't the case here. I'll definitely seek out more Lisa Jewell!
