“This novel has a lot going for it. Very good writing, a book which holds your attention, characters and dialogue which hang together perfectly, and a unique story.
Almost from the first page I was gripped. Who are these people, are they for real? Annette, charismatic Timothy Richardson, Jack and Netty
I want to read whatever the author writes next!
Our book club didn’t all score so highly with some going low and others (like me) high, so the average 6/10 doesn’t do it justice. I score 8/10

Score 8/10

Date read September 2016

“A very good British thriller. A debut novel too.
How is it some thrillers hit the spot and others don’t? This one does…a hit and run results in the death of a young child. Haunted with guilt our protagonist does what you’d expect in real life, she packs her bags and runs away to start a new life.
Full of brooding atmosphere, I’m recommending this one. 7.5/10

Score 7.5/10

Date read August 2016

“A thriller with a twist, OK nothing unusual with that, the twist is the story is told from the perspective of the victim. It doesn’t spend a lot of time chasing or giving clues to whom the serial killer is.
The victim has memory loss after a killer dumps her in a mass grave, psychiatrists come and go, but sooner or later she needs to help the innocently imprisoned man for the serial murders.
BC score 6/10 mine 4/10 (instantly forgettable!)

Score 4/10

Date read August 2016
