It was okay. A bit slow for me and a lot of it seemed a bit far fetched. Like I'm supposed to believe that they live in a big metro, big enough to have a tube station, yet the same half-dozen characters continually run into each other at all hours? Meh.

Un drame/thriller psychologique efficace, Lisa Jewell est toujours aussi douée pour dépeindre les problèmes de notre société dans leur complexité.

Pretty good but the perp was extremely obvious. Maybe I just read too many thrillers? I still liked it. Although the book was way longer than it should have been.
