Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton

3.0

This one was ok, but it could have been so much more... I liked the writing very much, the structure of the book (mixing narrative with interviews, newspaper clips and letters) was great, and I guess I enjoyed the story as a whole, but the twist is not really a twist because you can see it coming basically from chapter 1. I was hoping that it was one of those books where everything leads you to believe something so when the true reveal happens it will be even more shocking, but sadly this was not the case. I also cannot believe for a second that

Spoiler

Hamish knew what was going on even before he met Maggie, no matter how smart he is, and the whole thing with him being in love with his liaison agent and the set up to catch the killer was too unbelievable in my opinion

. So I liked it, but I'm bummed by all that unfulfilled potential :(
