Perfect Little Children by Sophie Hannah

2.0

Given the synopsis I had more hope for this book. But the "thriller" aspect fell a little flat as the pacing was quite slow until the end. Some aspects of the mystery side of things felt a bit unfair to the reader as they relied on character knowledge that wasn't revealed until the character connected the dots. I know not all literary mysteries need to be fair in that sense, but I prefer ones where the clues were there along the way for the reader to pick up (whether or not I actually figure it out ahead of the character being beside the point). Just not for me, I think.
