Really quite funny 😁

Another great book by Anita Waller. she writes with a northern comic feel to this book which is really a twisty little thriller!

Revenge is a dish best served cold

It was a very dark comedy, some times I took a deep breath, others laughed.
Sad how the characters lives were a mess.
Worth listening to.

Not credible

This story begins as implausible and becomes ridiculous. I'm sure that it was written by a grown-up, but that's not the impression that comes across. I'm glad it was in the plus catalogue because I wouldn't have been happy to pay for it.

Far fetched.

The story was good as were the characters. Although a bit far fetched and unbelievable, yet interesting.

I’m going to actually miss these characters!

Anita Waller is now the name I search for when I’m looking for my next read. Every book is original with different characters every time. I particularly fell in love with the characters in this one, I’m going to miss them!

A good story

A good story with a bit of a disappointing ending. The personalities of the characters seemed to change right at the end which didn’t seem logical.

Wow. Just wow.

Great thriller with an emotional sideline, although I sometimes found the characters a little frustrating, I myself have been through the health condition Claudia was going through and found it well written and showed a full understanding of Malignant Melanoma. Thank you Anita Waller for knowing your stuff. Definitely one I would recommend.
