Rosie Walsh just earned a spot on the auto-buy author list. 
This book got me out of a reading slump and I finished it in record time. There were so many twists and I thought the writing was so good. One of the best emotionally charged mysteries I’ve read in a while!

OMG. Not what I was expecting. Initially decided to dnf then decided that as its for book club I should make the effort. Very slow start to the book but read the last 150 pages in one sitting and goodness me!! Twists and turns and so much could have happened where people arent who they seem. Not something I would ever choose to read for myself but it was an ok read and Im glad I finished it.
