 this book was wow. I’ve never read anything like it, my first crime book and I loved it, it was a tad complicated at times but not too hard at all, it was really interesting because there was not a
main loveable character, none of them were lovable really.
My word the bombshell of camilla and Charles and I just had a feeling that someone would kill themselves, Julian disappearing was a good touch. I also hoped that Richard would ask camilla to marry him, I wish she’d say yes but I suppose it reflects the book, I liked at the end how we found out what happened to everyone.
a very good read
