Unexpected twist

Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2020

Started started rather slowly I thought, The usual he did she did gossip etc. But then things changed slowly and insidiously.
Not wanting to say too much, the people who think they are and always who they are! Ended up being a very enjoyable read if you like unexpected twists and dramas it covers that.

B grade thriller but easy to read ( a little too easy)

Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2020

Can’t say I loved this book. It was a nice easy read however could barely tolerate the neurotic protagonist suspecting anyone who walked past her. Can we please just have one female lead who isn’t overly emotional.
The actual storyline is pretty far fetched - all these characters suddenly appear after Jo spills a random possible rumor
If you like not to think when you read this book is for you. If you like substance/realism to the storyline give this one a miss

Fascinating storyline depicting the life of secrecy lived by people who've had to change their identity, due to their crimes.
The child killer in this book resembles the infamous Mary Bell and what has been reported of her life as an adult. Highly recommend!

I liked this book because it was easy to follow but still captivated my interest. I liked the take that the book was about a child killer and their life after the event. I found the characters likeable if not the Michael and Jo thing too fairytale like at times.

Interesting story line that had me hooked from the start. Liked the characterisation and subplots. This one is worth reading.

Predictable

I honestly cannot say I was overly engrossed with this book. Too far-fetched at times and completely lost me with a totally unnecessary anti-Trump comment at one point.
