"Iggy's probably my favourite singer and I was thinking about choosing one of his solo records, but when you see my next one you'll probably figure out why I didn't choose that. Again, what can you say about Fun House? It's just so primal, a rock & roll record, and I can't think of anything like it. From the box set you can tell that it didn't just appear, they worked incredibly hard to get it that good, take after take after take. It's just amazing, totally powerful. To be able to capture something that probably was more of a live experience and make it sound like they're in the room with you… one of my neighbours has got a ludicrous stereo, and we'll just listen to Fun House, insanely drunk, on his stereo. It's almost like you're there, melting your face. It was a fun night… you should come round, it happens most Fridays. That's how countryside life in Scotland goes."

After having read the first in this series on The Pigeonhole, I knew I’d have to read the rest (I’m a completionist 🤷🏼‍♀️)!! So I preordered this from the library. It didn’t disappoint, either. Avery is still trying to work out why she has been left the Hawthorne fortune, and someone is still trying to make sure that she doesn’t live to inherit.

The clues come thick and fast, as so the death threats. Avery is still trying to deal with the fact that her father wants to get his hands on the money too, and he will do all that he can to make sure that he gets ‘his share’.

Grayson and Jameson Hawthorne are still being their enigmatic selves, and Avery appears undecided as to which brother she likes best (why choose?!).

By the end of the book, a lot of questions are answered, but there are plenty more that need resolving.

I’ll be very interested to see what happens in the next instalment!
