The story is engaging, but it progresses as you’d expect with only slight twists and turns. It’s a great story, but if you don’t like “cop centered” narrators, it may not be for you.

A page turner
This was one hell of a ride… so many twist and turns. So many characters to keep up with, so many pieces that connected together so well.
The writing was great. The only downside was that ending, after everything that happened I couldn’t just trust that ending.

A fast thriller about a woman left for dead by whom she suspects is her very influential husband.
I liked the host of likeable narrators and wanted to know read more about some of them more than others and was glad to know that my favourite character Detective Conor Reid has a book of his own called 'Last Day' which I hope to read someday. The book deals pretty well with tough topics like domestic violence and abuse. Certain scenes like the beginning and the end had be on the edge of my seat and I loved them.
What I didn't like was the sheer number of irrelevant characters that pop now and then because it got a little hard to keep track of who is who. And while I thought Claire was strong and had likeable attributes, I didn't like her per se because of her choices. I am in no way blaming the victim here but something her characterisation felt off to me.
3/5

Started in an intriguing way, but as usual, the ending was a bit rushed and predictable

This book was so disjointed - too many characters, not enough character development. At times I was so bored, I skimmed paragraph after paragraph, not missing much. The climax was lackluster. Bottom line, I couldn't wait to finish this book, so I could start another and forget it.
