“Another average debut novel which comes with a lot of hype.
The story is that one sister goes missing and then is discovered dead, but was she murdered?
Maybe I’m being a bit mean here.

Score 4/10

“Romantic novel. Two people get back together after years after a break up at University.
But it’s complicated, they are both having to put life on hold to care for relatives, and ones is also married.
A good novel but not very exciting or emotionally involving.

“Began well when our protagonist goes to the wrong funeral. As a result he inherits a fortune.
This turns him into a bit of a git. So far so good. The transition to a caring person is far to clunky. He gets it back on track until he needs to finish, back to clunky.

Score 4.5/10
