This was engaging from the start - a real page turner.
I was wrong predicting the ending that I did. This made me smile 😁. A good twist.
This is an easy book to follow and please don't expect a complicated plot. This is one that just keeps your attention by flitting from suspect to suspect.
It appears, by looking at the reviews on here, that you like or loathe BA Paris. I have enjoyed both the books that I have read.
Found it quite irritating that the narrator didn't sound her t's! It was really noticeable.
It's a good thriller with a nice twist. It romps along well and was nicely delivered by Olivia Dowd (Thomas Judd gets only a few lines in case you wondered!)
