Sickening and sinister, family secrets, morally grey characters


Had watched the show several years ago and now decided to read the book. Didn't disappoint obviously, in fact I think the show portrayed the story and characters very well.

I felt for the main character but also found myself put off by some of her choices. The details were often gory and unsettling, definitely not for the squeamish.

Will definitely try others by this author.
