This book started off very well, it had me gripped and unable to put it down for a good sizeable chunk. It also finishes incredibly well too. I did feel, especially in the middle, that parts of it were too fleshy and my attention started to waver. The chapters are quite short making it an easy read. The flick backwards and forwards from times before the murder to various points after. Most chapters are told from the point of view of Freya, a colleague of the murdered woman and Isla, an investigative crime journalist. The way the story is told and the shortness of the chapters made me think of prime time dramas and that this would be great made into a tv show. The murder of Nicole is central to the plot but it’s not until the very last three pages we find out the truth behind what happens.
