Surprisingly Thrilling

I went into this film knowing absolutely nothing about it and I think that was the best way to go. I was very interested from the jump and needed to know what happened and who the heck he was and what was happening. I loved Diane Kruger, she definitely is one of my favorite actresses, and while Liam Neeson definitely has his niche that works for him, he is very good at it. There's a reason it's his niche. This film is no different.

I thought the pacing was really nicely done and I don't feel like anything was unnecessary. Every part of every scene made sense and the further you got into the film, the more the pieces started to fit together. I really liked this one.

This is the second novel I have read by this author, the first being Sticks and Stones, and I have enjoyed them both.

Charlie is trying to re-build her life after having spent time in prison; she buys a run down cottage in a small Cornish village and although she tries to keep herself to herself whilst renovating, she starts to become involved in village life and developing friendships amongst the residents but she soon begins to feel uneasy and things start to happen.

With a plausible story line, complex, well developed and interesting characters, a great setting culminating in a thrilling conclusion, this is an enjoyable read.

My thanks go to Random House UK, Vintage Publishing via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.
