This book is written “English” and it took me a bit to catch on that some of the spellings were not mis spelled. After a few British terms I understood what was going on. A first for me.
The storyline? Good character build up; enough to keep the wheels turning and make multiple scenarios make sense. Made them likable and unlikable at the same time. It did not drag on nor did it lose my interest.
The common link? All looking to buy a house. What happens? Someone is missing and who we think did it probably isn’t who did.
The back and forth from current day “Talks” to the moment in time the events occurred threw me a bit but contribute greatly to the ending. Main character came through like no other.
This was not a book that kept me on the edge of my seat or made me holler at the characters but it did not disappoint either.
