A fantastic premise enticed me to order this from NetGalley for my first foray into the world of Jo Spain, which I was assured was a twisty-turny world of excellent crime writing. I have to admit the start of this book was excellent, with the death of Erin's husband Danny setting a scene I wanted to continue to inhabit. I did feel the fact that the book jumped from first-person perspective to third as well as back and forwards in time was a little confusing and could have been responsible for the fact that I kept putting the book down. I felt the lead character wasn't as compelling as some of the others and I personally found it hard to root for her. I loved the plot and the writing was excellent, and although I guessed as to the plot twist I found it well done and satisfying enough.
Thanks to NetGalley and Quercus for an advance copy in exchange for this honest review.
