Well, this was a page turner. I'm a sucker for switching points of view, and also a sucker for an unreliable narrator...and this gives me both!
I loved the commentary on true crime, the twists and turns of the story and the constant uncomfortable-nuss of it all. This is a thriller, with a twist and would really recommend it to anyone who likes that genre!
There are some things which sit uneasy - I at no point found Roach sympathetic, but at points with descriptions of her relationships I didn't know if I was meant to?
