Thank you Readers First for my copy of this book!
I was so drawn to the cover of this book, there is just something about it that made me want to read it.
The premise of the story has so much promise but it just fell a bit flat for me.
It was obvious from early on who was behind everything which then made the story less dramatic.
When it was being narrated by Mick, he kept talking about a previous case but only casually mentioning it, as if we should already know the story and who the people were and what went on, yet this is the first novel by this author! It felt like a back story we should have already known and there was something missing.
I really liked Ruby and could really feel what it was like to just be 'The Help' back then.
The story is set in 1950's America yet alot of the story seemed so relevant to today as well and didnt feel like it was being told from an historic point of view which I quite enjoyed.
Overall I was expecting a gripping who-dunnit but it just wasn't gripping enough for me unfortunately.
