Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Three brothers are at the funeral. One lies in the coffin.

Will, Brian and Luke grow up competing for their mother's love, but she is unable and unwilling to love all of them.

As adults, the competition continues. One brother always has what another one wants - status, money, success, a woman, the love of a child, his mother's attention.

But maybe there's a chance to even things up. Perhaps with one brother gone there would be more to go around.

Which will it be?

Absolutely superb

I’m completely delighted to have discovered Liz Nugent. I’m an author and audio fan, yet her books are new to me and in two weeks I’ve devoured two (plus several other novels) and hers have both been totally my cup of tea. Intelligent, witty, believable and gripping. That’s what I want from a novel and she delivers all this and more. Listen, learn and love, like me. You won’t regret it.

Classic cruelty well told

Loved all Liz Nugent’s previous books and this did not disappoint. Almost all characters are lacking In any redeeming features, all despicable, shallow and one dimensional. However it is a style that Liz is very skilled in. The end rambled of a bit but on the whole it was a great companion on my long walks, which replaced my long commute, during lockdown.

So deliciously nasty charachters

Very few people in this book are likable but seeing the same events from each sociopathic perspective is fascinating!

Outstanding… Liz Nugent knows how to tell a story…

Don’t expect the ending you would wish for… Liz’s books leave you
Reeling but I can never stop listening to them… fantastic….

Depressing

Well performed but a depressing story with characters with no redemption or hope. Left with a feeling of what was the point the author was trying to convey except no one else can have a family that bad. I enjoyed Strange Sally Diamond but not this one.

Such deeply unlikable characters.

Good narration. But the characters had no redeeming features. Truly depressing story. No levity at all and each character more unpleasant than the last.
