3.5

This was a Book Club read and I knew I’d have to get through it, even if I didn’t necessarily want to, as it would give me more to talk about 😂

It actually got very interesting from about 65% onwards; the first bit was a bit of a bore but once we got to the nitty gritty I was happy to keep reading!

I will say it’s one of the more interesting thriller stories I have read.

Edward was SO messed up! When I kept trying to remember certain clues, he didn’t always sit right with me, but I still wouldn’t have guessed Robert was only trying to expose his son. The drama 😳

3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thanks ✨
