Absolutely loved this book! Found the writing style very easy to read and was hooked from the first chapter. Loved how it jumped around with the three cold cases and current day, also thought that Jackson Brodie was a fantastic protagonist. I’ll look forward to reading the next books in this series!
Moderate: Child death, Death, Sexual harassment, Suicide, and Stalking

I was mildly disappointed that the attacks aimed at Jackson were completely unrelated to any of the murders.

Admittedly I'm new to the genre, but it definitely felt more like a character novel than a mystery. I'd probably rate it higher if I had been more interested in the characters.
Moderate: Rape, Incest, Violence, Racial slurs, Grief, Fatphobia, and Child death
Minor: Suicide
