3.0
When a women is murdered in a British village, news reporter Anna Andrews is reluctant to return home and cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect himself in his own murder investigation.
I wanted to love this one, but I just liked it. I didn’t find there to be much suspense or build up to the murders and characters. It also felt quite repetitive in the way things unfolded.
I was quite shocked in the end with the final twist, but to be honest, I actually didn’t like this final twist, and would have been content with what we thought was the ending before that final reveal.
I rotated between print and audio and I think the audio saved me from disliking this book more to be honest.
Sadly it was a miss for me, but I enjoy her books and will continue to pick them up.
⚠️ Murder. Sexual assault. Animal cruelty. Dementia. Bullying. Cancer (mentioned). Alcoholism. Toxic relationship.
