I couldn’t engage with the story. Also there was a lot of cursing which i don’t enjoy very much in books

This was very good, but a hard read. The subject matter is dark and the implications are dark as well. That being said it’s so important to read about this. I do have to say the writing style of this is so odd and took me a while to get into. I think if this was written differently it could have been a five star and maybe more emotional. As for the thriller/mystery aspect it really wasn’t the main plot( and I found it predictable), but I still enjoyed it and that it was underlying. I really enjoyed learning more about the sister relationship and the family dynamics. I do have to say I didn’t love the ending.

This book was heavy and hard to read in big doses because of that. I also had a hard time with the writing style. But I did love the twists throughout and was shocked by some of the things that came to light throughout! Overall a good read!

A truly excellent mystery.  If you like Tana French books, I think you'd like this one.
