What a horrible bunch

Like another reviewer, I kept reading this to find out the detailed denouement, but wondered why I’d cared. A neat enough story, but lacking the moral core that makes crime fiction so satisfying - I don’t mean that a wrongdoer has to be exposed and punished necessarily, but if s/he isn’t, we should either be compelled by their amorality (Ripley) or convinced by the prison they’ve made of their lives. Here, it was hard to care. Kit, Neve and (sorry) even Poppy are such unattractive characters, that a final fatal car crash for the three of them wouldn’t have much saddened me.

This book made me really mad by the end

I finished this in one sitting, I had to find out what happened. This was a really hard book to review without giving away spoilers, but how someone could do that to a child, especially with special needs which makes it worse, but a child is bad enough, to get their own desires satisfied makes me furious. I literally felt angry at the end of this. The 2 main characters I disliked so much for different reasons. I could sum this up in 2 words... "Shannon Mathews." Kit and neve were just as bad as each other in my opinion. I was heart broken for poppy. The interaction between her and Neve when Poppy kept repeating something, made me want to reach in to the book and grab poppy, and give Neve a piece of my mind. Neve deserved everything she got, and more. I never thought I'd hate a character, but I hated Neve.

Great listen!

Another fantastically woven plot from Sue Fortin. I was enthralled to the very end of the story.
