challenging dark emotional mysterious

4.5

I love Kate Atkinson, she can do no wrong. This book required some serious concentration to keep up with time jumps and changing POV but I just love the way she writes (and think you’ll either love it or hate it). 

TWs will be spoilers so if you’re not particularly bothered then go in expecting it to have serious detective/crime theme but definitely worth checking if you are!!

Really enjoyed this one. Great mystery, interesting plot with the darkness of shows like Criminal Minds. Written like I was reading my own voice. Can't wait to read the next one.

cblunier's review against another edition

The family situation was depressing.  A missing child is not something I want to read about.  I read the end, and the death of the child was linked loosely to pedophilia. Just no.
