I really enjoyed this once I got going with it. I found it hard to get started with as the first couple of chapters didn’t grab me. But once it did grab me it was a keep reading until there’s nothing left kind of read.
The story is told in a similar way to Hannah’s first book Little Face; first person sections narrated by the main victim character intertwine with sections from the point of view of the police. The police characters are the same group as featured in the first book too; nice to see them again and to see them develop.
And again, as in the first book, the plot is totally blow me away fabulous. So many twists, turns and facades that I couldn’t start to describe it without worrying about giving something away. This is an author and a series that I’m looking forward to reading for many years to come.
