3.5 ⭐ = Quite Good.
This was certainly very unusual and I was definitely kept interested. I'm not really sure why it didn't quite reach a good rating. Maybe because the last half was a bit 'samey' (is that even a word?!) and was dragged out a little too much for me.
Still, a half decent read and I'd definitely read another by HF.Julie7 2023-05-26
