“A book club read and one we all enjoyed.
Not a big or complicated novel. A good and fun read.
A bit creepy, some strong and interesting characters, great sense of magic house and gardens.
Book club average score 8/10 and same 8/10 from me.

“My sort of book. The first 50 pages are full of intrigue, mostly you are in the dark and kept guessing what is going on, I like that.
It doesn’t get much clearer but this isn’t a plot driven novel, more about the skill of the writer. And to think it is her first novel is wonderful. Our book group were less sure and some liked it less which brought the average score to 6/10, my score a lovely 8/10. more please Sarah

“Great thriller. JLB has got to be one of the best dialogue writers, he doesn’t hesitate to treat the reader to his southern style.
It is hard hitting and not for the faint hearted.
Number 20 in the excellent Dave Robicheaux series

“And another good book for a book group.
This is a debut novel and how nice and refreshing it is to find something new and different.
An old lady lives alone by the sea, spending her time looking at the water and beach. A stranger knocks on the door and the story begins… excellent.
I liked it more than the group who scored it an average of 6.2/10 but it’s easily worth 8.5/10
Score 8.5/10
