dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

Marvellous domestic thriller. Could not put this book down. Found it messy and clever. Miles is

one of the most devious, diabolical characters I have come across in a long time!!)

The only thing that bugged me was why

didn't the police see that every time Miles felt crossed, someone got hit by a car!!! Like several people. No CCTV at any of the places??! Also they did background checks on Pete and Maddie but not him??

This book was sometimes challenging for me to read because I found it so tense and uncomfortable. Overall I thought it was good, but compared to the pace of the rest of the book, the ending felt rushed. It seems like the topics the writer wrote about were well researched.
