A gripping read, but domestic violence, child abuse, incest, adultery, suicide, abduction, murder.... it did put you through the wringer a bit!

I felt it wasn't wrapped up as well as it could have been - some things left me feeling unsatisfied. A few inconsistencies - for example a character badly sprains or possibly breaks an ankle. This is a hindrance while it needs to be, but a few hours later it seems to be OK again.

If Olivia knew what she knew about her husband all along, I can't see why she didn't use it to her advantage earlier?

Gripping while it lasted, but I don't think I could read it again.

Engaging Thriller
This book didn't waste any time getting going while still giving us a good feeling for the characters.

 With the abduction of the youngest child of a content wealthy mother of three, Bree Cabbat, I did wonder if we were going to go down a path too frequently travelled in thrillers of late for me. But the twists hit early and hard leaving me gripped.

Jackson again demonstrates a writing style that gets me on board with characters I would usually have little regard for, making me desperate to find out their fate.


Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy.
