My review
Be careful who you let into your home …
I have read the previous book as well and this one was as gripping and entertaining.
With some books you need some time to get dragged into the story, others pull you in from the very beginning. This story definitely deserves a place in the latter group.
It’s fluently written and fast paced. The short chapters make you keep on reading one more, and one more, and … even though you really should have stopped to do other (read boring) things like sleeping or eating. The author has you in her grip and won’t let you go before everything is revealed.
I also liked the structure of the book. The author gives us the opportunity to peek inside the culprit’s head and if you want to know what is going on in there, you won’t hear it from me. You will have to find out yourself.
Thank you, Alison James, Bookouture and Netgalley

I was born in the Cotswolds but spent most of my formative years abroad. I studied languages at Oxford, then became a journalist and author, returning to university after my two children to take a law degree. After a three-year stint as a criminal paralegal, I worked as a commercial copywriter and then a TV storyliner, before coming full circle to write fiction again.
