This is my third Lisa Jewell book & I am sure she is now an auto read author for me.
The pacing off this book was quite slow & focused more on the family drama aspect rather than the mystery aspect. Adrian was so annoying & I am glad he realised it was all his fault. There was decent character development as well. Just average, but not enough to turn me off reading more.

A good read exploring the complications of a modern broken family and the interwoven relationships/opinions that come with it. Includes a mystery narrative but the main focus of this book was the familial narrative which I really enjoyed.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
