Thank you to Readers First and Zaffre Books for a review copy - my thoughts are my own. This is the first book I have read by Amy Heydenrych.
A great opening - Freya and Jay have played a prank on their colleague Nicole - next day she is found dead.
This is a book that goes backwards and forwards in time, following Atypical employee Freya and journalist Isla. Atypical sounds like an amazing place to work until you start to wonder if it is too good to be true.
I don't want to give any of the plot away - I had a few suspects in mind through the story, and did in fact wonder if X was the murderer only to talk myself out of this idea.
The book includes dealing with bullying in the workplace (for both Freya and Isla), a lack of HR support and online dating apps. Having worked in a happy workplace which quickly became toxic due to a change at the top, I recognised how paranoia leads staff to wonder who is safe to talk to.
I have seen a mixture of reviews for this book but I really enjoyed this book, finding it to be well written and sleep depriving - I didn't want to stop reading without finding out 'who did it'.
