I enjoyed this but I wished they'd stuck to the narrator used for the previous books at in this area. I just didn't relate to the characters in the same way because of it. In particular the voice used for Andee swung between American and the local accent.

Another great read by Susan Lewis

Good crime plot and great suspense through the novel that kept me listening, but REVOLTING depiction of class relations, with the lower classes practically thanking wealthy older man for sleeping with their vulnerable teenage daughter - also gender roles and relations all a bit 1950s, though it is set now; felt a bit sickened and depressed by it at the end, and wish I hadn’t allowed myself to be hooked by the plot.

Intriguing crime but

Overall I liked the story, but the frequent repition of phrases like 'cocktail me up', especially when referring to wine (not cocktails) was cringe-worthy. I'm normally a big Susan Lewis fan, but in places this felt quite forced. Hopefully just a blip and the next will be back on track.

Not up to her usual standard.
