really liked it
bookshelves: 2016

I chose this book based on the description of the cover with this opening line "My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it"...

I was gravitated to this little baby right away and was anxious to dive right in. I have read many disappointing psychological thrillers over the last couple of months and was thinking that this one would be the same but Liz Nugent did a slam dunk with this psychological thriller.

I would have to say it's more of a slow-burning thriller. In the beginning, I was at times wondering where the story was going and was slow to build up. I was lost a little and got a tad bored. But, don't let that fool you because Liz definitely delivers!! :)

Wow, can I say DYSFUNCTIONAL family. Poor Laurence.... sucks to be you my friend (and can I just say holy guacamole Lydia is one AWFUL mother. ..Talk about messed up in the head)....

I would recommend if you are wanting a different and unique psychological read! ;).

So.... I need a little help on this one. Those of you that have read this can you explain the last page with Lydia? (I'm assuming it may be that she's just crazy?....???

Give this an overall 4!

Mary I have this book on my bedside table waiting for me to return to it.
I,like you,thought it was a little slow so I left it for a while.
Think I might go back to it having read your thoughts.
Great review!
