A good action thriller that seems to have gone under the radar? A great cast, with a good story that will keep you guessing. Feels similar to the likes of the Siege, Body of lies etc due to the main themes in the story. The action scenes are very good. So if you enjoy a well made action/thriller this deserves a wider audience.
  
Paula Holliday thinks landing the job of bringing the gardens of the local mansion back to their former glory is a dream come true. That is until she finds a baby's body in the yard. The characters were flat and ran together. And the story progressed slowly.

Not too bad
Nor the best body story but not too bad. The acting was decent and the cinematography worked well. The storyline was interesting but the explanation for the 'ghost" and the ending were a little weak. The story moved along a little slower than I normally like but it turned out ok. It kept my attention and entertained well enough to say it's worth a watch.

This story focuses around this small neighbourhood with lots of strong characters, each with their own storyline to deal with. It feels like a lot, but once I had got my head round them all, this book drew me right in and I was hooked. It starts off with a body in a kitchen, then goes back and does a brilliant job of revealing the story, very slowly, by going back to the beginning of the timeline and working back through. The intermittent police reports from the day after the murder is an excellent addition, as it adds to the slow reveal as you start to realise who the body isn’t! It was a bit of a slow start, but once it got going the suspense, intrigue and twists are coming thick and fast right up until the very last page!
