Great story and very well read. One of those where you can't stop listening even while you don't want to get to the end

Loved it

Excellent and enjoyable story, but to someone born and raised in the Oxfordshire countryside the attempt at a “local” accent was utterly bizarre and grating. Not sure the voice actress has ever heard an actual Oxfordshire local, as she seemed to think it’s in Bristol

Bizarre accent was very off putting!

I think I like this novel more than Bella's debut How to Kill Your Family (although that remains one of my favourites). The narration was excellent and really brought the characters to life - highly recommended!

A brilliant story

Whilst the book was well written, it was just too long.

The characters were absolutely vile.
