I really enjoyed this book, even when I wasn't the biggest fan of Erika Foster, she is the kind of person you'd want investigating if you've been the victim of a crime. I loved the sweet moments with her father in law and the road towards forgiveness. The plot itself was alright, not really my cup of tea, but well written (granted, it took me a bit to get used to the writing style) even though most of the characters involved were horrible people. I look forward to reading more of the series, and hope that the plot will be more to my liking.

Great writing and very suspenseful. I gave it a four star rating. After reading the book I'm not very surprised with the plot as it was a pretty standard detective novel, but still very enjoyable and I personally only vaguely saw the ending coming.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. DCI Foster is a great character but the twists and turns kept me entertained throughout. The style of writing is really great, third person POV and realistic crimes made this an easy read.

🇳🇱: Dit boek was echt verassend goed. Ik heb deze ooit gekocht in de bieb en ik heb hem sinsdien in de kast liggen. Het boek is heel goed geschreven en mijn aandacht bleef er goed bij. Het verhaal heeft verschillende plot twists en elke vermoedelijke dader had een goed motief om de moord eventueel te plegen. Ook vond ik het leuk dat je naarmate het verhaal vorderd je verder achter het leven van de hoofdpersoon komt! Het einde vond ik ook echt heel spannend. De moordenaar had ik half aan zien komen en half niet.

🇬🇧: this book was suprising. I bought it in the library once and since then it has been laying on my bookshelf. The book has been written very well and my attention was drawn to it. Every suspect had a good motive to commit the murder. It was also a nice touch that you get to know the main character. You discover her whole life story as the story line continues. The end was very tense and exciting. I kind of predicted the murderer but not completely!
