This is a really good domestic thriller, with lots of twists and turns and an impressive list of potential suspects to keep you guessing. The setting is a little smug - lots of nice, middle class people living in lovely houses beside the Thames - but overall, the story is well paced and intriguing. The narrator does an amazing job.

Great book, wonderful narration

Its not a bad book but it’s not great either. I guessed the end early on and at times got lost with who was who.. finished it tho so not all bad. The narrator was good I thought.

Ok but not great

I enjoyed this audiobook a lot. However I did find the final act very contrived. Still the rest of the book was good enough (for the genre) for me to still give 4 stars. Engaging abs well read

It was all going so well
