I’ve put this on my “unputdownable” shelf.

Sometimes I fell to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, it’s been an horrendous month.I never once wasn’t eager to get back to this book, it made me mad I just couldn’t sit and continue to read it.That being said, I absolutely loved this writing. It flowed so well, it’s difficult to explai...

Loved this one it was just amazing.My third book by this author and by far my favourite.I just adored how this was all connected together and I'm blown away with how the author has managed to connect the dots to make sense of everything while still managing to keep me in the dark through the journey.This was such an impressive feat and managed to keep me guessing as well as constantly surprising me with its many twists and turns.From that shocking beginning where two people are shot down in cold...

The main issue with this book is that, save the main hook, it's just not that surprising. It starts off well. Why would a woman, to all regards happy in her marriage and with a baby she adores, get up one day and shoot two people dead? One of whom was an old lady to boot. I don't know about you, but I wanted to know. Except the answer is right there in the blurb. This woman, Heather, had a sister who went missing when they were both young. Do we think the people she shot might have something to

This book was excellent. It had so many twists and turns and always kept my attention. The characters were really interesting and I particularly liked Jess and Margot. I liked how it went back into the past and explained what really happened to Flora and the lead up to it. It keeps you guessing until the last page and I found the ending to be good. It was very well written and it was a great book. I will definitely be reading more books from this author. I loved it.

It centres around teenage sidekicks Heather and Jess whose friendships falls apart when Heather's sister Flora unexpectedly vanishes. Almost twenty years later and Jess is now working as a journalist for a small local paper when she learns that her best friend from teenage years, Heather, is currently in hospital in a coma ha...
