Quite a fun thriller, despite the fact that it was pretty obvious who was the "ringleader" early on. Still had some good twist on top of that. Also, men (in most thrillers I read) are dogs...

I quite enjoyed this book! It had me hooked from the beginning and kept a good pace throughout.
I saw one part of the twist coming, however the other part took me by surprise.
Not sure I would read it again, but I liked it and would recommend it :)

A woman is murdered and the baby she was looking after is missing. All clues point to her boyfriend who is a married man.
Honestly, I don’t want to write about this book. This was a buddy read, had it not been I wouldn’t have finished this. It was slow and predictable. I actually told the group my theory after the first reading session and this was correct. I could have stopped reading at 25% I don’t recommend this one.

I enjoyed this book, despite having little sympathy for a couple of the POV characters. The pacing was a little slow, but I liked the multiple POVs, and jumping back and forward in time to before and after the crime. The ending was twisty, kept me guessing all the way, and ultimately was very satisfying - particularly as someone who has a strong sense of justice.
