The instant top 10 best seller

Can you guess who killed Jamie Lawrence?

Late one night, three women share secrets.

They barely know each other, but they all know Jamie Lawrence. They know what he's guilty of. And they agree something must be done.

But as their plan spirals out of control, they begin to doubt themselves...and each other. Then Jamie is found dead. And suddenly everything is at stake. As lies are unravelled and truths exposed, two urgent questions emerge:

Who is really guilty?

And who will have to pay?

I really wanted to get into this book, but just could not get around  the narration. Sometimes it flowed and other times it just sounded like a teenager in class reading from a book  that they really don’t want to read. Will be returning book because of this.

Poor narration

Well, what to say. Not sure. Would I recommend, no. Sorry Piers. Nothing special and I should have paid more attention to other reviewers as to celebrity enhancement

Disappointed, Piers Morgan selling pitch

You'll never guess who the baddie is from the first to the last word! A brilliantly written book, hopefully, there are many more to come.
Excellent read from an old bag who's hard to please.
Well done Celia.
Great narration Naomi

Well blow me down with a feather!

Quite an entertaining story but full of cliches and annoying references to Addison Lee who must surely have sponsored this book! I’ve read better books by this author.

It’s … ok!
