I wasn’t entirely impressed by the opening. I thought it a fairly standard start to a thriller. Something happened in the narrator’s hometown in the past which ruined her life. It now seems to have happened again. Cliché after cliché. A close -to-irritating first-person present tense narrative. However an intriguing prologue and the certainty that the narrator is not all she seems was enough to whet my appetite. However I soon realised that I had no interest in an unappealing narrator and the writing became increasingly pedestrian. There was still interest in seeing how it would all turn out, with a heavily signalled reveal. However after the expected reveal , the denouement was rushed and quite frankly, ludicrous, involving characters who had previously only been sketched in but who had a backstory which could have been a book in itself. Such a disappointment
