It's been a while since I've enjoyed a book so much that I read it in less than 24 hours! This book keeps you guessing and interested the whole way through. Really good!

The first half of the book I would give a 2/5 but the second half I would give a 4/5. Very conflicted over this one. I liked the ending but I absolutely hated all the characters and the plot for the whole first half!

A good book with some unpredictable twists! Bit of a slow start but good once it gets going.

A bit of a slow starter but good once it gets going. I did see the ending coming (parts anyway) but still enjoyable!

An interesting though sad recollection of a mentally unwell mother and her daughter. Shame Helen (and her Mum) didn't get the support and care required from early on. Her mother's actions and words were truly shocking!

Another good book by Freida McFadden. I got a bit lost towards the end with the twists getting a bit confusing but it all made sense in the end. A loose end... (loan sharks) but still good.

While not my favourite in the series, it had enough to keep me interested. With these books I like that I hadn't picked one up in months yet I quickly got reminded about the characters and their backgrounds. I wish there was more of a police/killer mix in the chapters, like if we were reading some bits from the killers POV aswell
