Do you know someone who shouldn't be breathing? They just exude evil, no moral compass, no care for those they damage. How many times have you envisioned their deaths?
Marie returns home after decades abroad - her mother is dying. Shortly after her mother's death, Marie's best friend from school dies successfully commits suicide. The blame placed on her abusive husband. Ellie tried several times to leave - she couldn't escape.
Marie's own cancer diagnosis allows her some moral leeway - and the husband is dead.
On a trip abroad, Marie meets a nice man, and another evil person. Should Marie strike again?
A little slow for me - overall enjoyable and lovely look at what if.

My Thoughts: this is a mystery book with a bit of a twist, we know who’s killing people, we know how and we know why, all things that we normally expect to be a big reveal, but somehow this book was addictive.

The writing flowed so easily that it was a quick read and I just couldn’t put it down!

I was behind Marie the whole time, I understood why she was doing what she was doing and I actually found myself agreeing with her reasons and feeling like she was definitely doing the right thing.. (don’t worry, I’m not about to start killing people, I just kind of ‘got it’)

Not that this makes it right, but she’s dying.. she was just trying to right some wrongs and rid the world of bad people
