I enjoyed the passion and power with which Koomson writes, and her portrayal of an emotional underworld in which nothing is clear-cut and the line between guilty and innocent is blurred
Daily Mail
-
Cleverly told by three female narrators, this is a complex tale of a terrible crime... I was gripped from the start of this book and desperate to uncover the truth

When you read the bio. Says its a psychological thriller... having spent almost 18 hours listening to it. Would only describe it as a well written romance with a large twist in its tail.
The storyline is good, however, better use of (how can I put it, without being described as racist), ethnic voice actors to emphasise the characters being portrayed.
Would I recommend it, probably not as a thriller. But for someone who likes general romance then maybeNigel Tansley 2023-02-24
