Mystery thriller following Anna a newsreader who has to cover a murder in her childhood village and Jack, her ex-husband and detective in charge of investigating the case, who is suspicious of Anna and might be actually involved himself.
A mixed reading experience for my third book by this author.
The writing was good and I liked the different point of views.
The characters were enough compelling to read in a train wreck and unlikeable sort of way.
I wasn’t totally surprised by the final reveal as I suspected it earlier in the book but I did like it.
Unfortunately half of the red herrings presented didn’t landed successfully for me, and sometimes were even annoying. Also pacing wise I felt the story was loosing its steam after the middle of the book so I did like how in the final part the action picks up but all of it left me a bit underwhelmed.
Even if I wasn’t totally convinced by this story, I’ll probably check out Alice Feeney other works in the future and the upcoming adaptation of this particular book.
