The distinction between Carmel and her mother's narrative was really clear throughout the book and it was written absolutely stunningly, with the description being spot on throughout the book, describing things I know I feel but could never put into words. Beautiful.
I wasn't disappointed by the ending as I've seen other say they were but I feel like chapter 53 could have easily been slashed, it added nothing to the story. The chapter before would have been the perfect, beautiful ending this book deserved, which is why I've only awarded this 4 stars.
I seriously recommend this to all kinds of readers and I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for Kate Hamer in the future.

This is a thrilling read from start to finish. Since we have gotten to know Lucy and Ben over the last couple of books, we care about the outcome here. I was so pulled in at the climax that I didn’t want to stop. The characters are strong as well, including Elvis and his partner Joe Pike. They are becoming more human. The flashbacks to Elvis’s past help with that, and they manage to be as engrossing as the main story instead of slowing it down.
