The air of unease that permeates the whole read was great. It really had me questioning the intentions of every character you meet. Perhaps the killer should have been obvious but I am new to the genre and the book kept me guessing the entire time.

As always, her characters and worldbuilding were so vividly described that I felt like I was there in person. I loved the depiction of the small coastal New Zealand town, and how the main character (Anahera) responds to moving back there.
Also I'm not usually a huge romance fan, but I really liked the love interest and I was rooting for them throughout. All of the characters were amazingly written and I will be rereading this book purely to visit them again.

The miscarriage is mentioned but does not take place on page. It is mentioned more often than once and that is why I put it as moderate.
