"Such a clever, beautifully written read that was tense and thrilling throughout with an ending that gave me goosebumps." (Claire Douglas, author of Then She Vanishes)

I quickly figured out "who dun it" but that didn't put me off. This is an easy listen and I really enjoyed it. Definitely would recommend.

I’ve read the reviews that didn’t like this book and I get it, it takes a while for the story to hit it’s stride and two of the main characters are financially privileged so it seems like theirs are first world problems.

Primarily it is the story of three families who all become friends, so far, so light. Then things begin to take a sinister turn, slowly there are clues that things aren’t quite right within any of the families.

The story begins to draw you in, I couldn’t tell you at what point I was hooked but I can say that I lost a night’s sleep because I couldn’t stop listening.

I’m not going to add any more to this review as I would be in danger of giving away the plot. It is worth saying that the narration is excellent throughout.

Takes a while then had to keep listening.

Really enjoyed this book. Lots of interesting characters- some rather annoying but still fascinating. Written with some depth. Love this narrator too. Found story engaging throughout and all loose ends tied up nicely too.
