Booktrailer Review
Susan:
A thriller which delivers . At first I thought I wouldn’t have any sympathy at all for Jenna and her situation nor really care what happened to her. But then I should have realised that Clare Mackintosh was, despite the title, not going to let me go. A clever one this but difficult to review without spoiling it. Just to say that the Welsh haven she escapes to is hauntingly beautiful and Jenna’s escape from Bristol to Wales is a sudden and perilous journey for all involved. You can tell a former detective has had a hand in this for the subtle nuances and unique insight into various places in the case.
A book chock full of human emotions – raw and brutal – and when all interlaced together with the skill of a detective come writer, then you’re in for a rollercoaster ride.
