If you love books and book people, this book is for you! If you're a small town or a city lass or laddie, this book is for you! Basically, if you draw breath, this book is for you! It'll keep you laughing and crying until the very last page. I loved it!

Wonder of wonders, I'm smitten again! Mr. Doer's book is one of those that unfurl slowly and linger with you long after you've finished them. Be still, my book-loving heart!

Thank you Netgalley for this whale of a good time book! I don't know what it is with me and books where the female protagonist is on a hunt for bad men who are gonna get what's coming to them. This was so good! The sibling relationship was top-notch, the snark was there, the fun was there, the waits and turns, a dash of romance and a sprinkling of implausible coincidences were also there. This was one gory thrilling romp of a book! Trigger warnings apply, but go for it if you loved How to Kill Men and get away with it by Katy Brent and couldn't wait for something similar, or if you like the Finlay Donovan series but want to dip your toes into something more graphic.

Thank you Netgalley for this audio ARC in exchange for an honest review. If you're into domestic thrillers, this will be right up your alley. While I did appreciate the narration by Helen MacAlpine and in particular the highly credible Scottish accent given the Scottish setting of the lodge, I'd have to say that the bad guy/gal reveal was not that credible to me. I mean, you keep expecting for the initial baddie in the story to be proven innocent of all wrongdoing, the twist is not jaw-droppingly incredible, but plain hard to understand based on the information available to you as a reader. All in all, not a bad book, but Big Little Lies with the slowly building momentum and shocking

I can't help but gush about this book. If you read one speculative fiction book this year, make it this one! I just loved the story and how it was told from alternating POVs only for them all to come together at the end and make sense as a whole. This felt like an ancient Greek choir where each voice adds their own special touch to the overall arc ot the story. Just loved loved loved it!
