Critic reviews
"Told from multiple points of view, this raw and painfully real portrayal of insecurities, guilt, shame and postnatal anxiety is complex, nuanced and moving." (Guardian)
"People are calling this the new Apple Tree Yard, but I’d beg to differ.... I’d argue its infinitely better" (The Pool)
‘Well-written, pacy and full of twists and turns." (Independent)

OK
Not a patch on Anatomy of a Scandal, the narration was excellent though it kept me listening until the end.

Brilliant book and very well narrated.
This is such a good novel; it highlights so many issues experienced today not only in the world of politics but in the justice system and difficulties for women in both those institution’s. Never dry or boring, the story is one I couldn’t stop listening to and it is brilliantly narrated. My only concern is that having finished this story, can I find another as good?!

Disappointing
Not the authors best which I suppose is the curse of writing an excellent book, forever to be compared.
Based on my favourite topics, politics, current affairs and the law, it was therefore, surprisingly disappointing.

Really good story
Well narrated and well written but somewhat messy after enjoying Anatomy of a Scandal so much that it is safe in my archive for another day. I think that perhaps it was just too long and with so much angst (understandable in the circumstances) that I really felt for all concerned. However, the story became disjointed during the trial sequences that inspire the last third of this novel and I found myself both confused and irritated. Exactly where was this going and just how many characters had played their part in this 'accidental death or murder'. So much so that I just wanted to get to the end so that I knew - and believe me, it became really messy. Too many strands, too many coincidences and too much subterfuge for my liking. But perhaps it will suit you better - and Sarah really does write well.

Not for me!
I love politics, current affairs and independent women. Despite all these things being present here, this book is not for me. I just find it a bit dull and long winded. The narration is very good though.

Political drama with pace and intelligent protagonists- I loved this novel
Part thriller, part courtroom drama, part feminist polemic, Sarah Vaughan’s Reputation should be cemented by this well-written, fast-paced novel. For nine years I lived in Kennington and my local pub was in Cleaver Square, and the setting is not the only aspect of the story that resonated; eerily, I was assaulted on the doorstep of my upper ground floor flat much like protagonist in the novel. We’re talking the late 1980s in my case, but dispiritingly for Labour MP Emma, little has changed. Set in 2021-2, it’s very topical, and griping from start to finish. The twists are believably reflections of the characters portrayed, and the pace fast and unrelenting. Julie Teal is the perfect narrator, and If politics and a cast of interesting characters sounds like your cup of tea, I highly recommend this.
