Ok - bit disappointing
Started well - original voice, atmospheric and evocative. Story lagged and didn’t live up to its initial promise.

Mesmerising
Think this book will stay with me for a long time. Hauntingly written and beautifully narrated this is a frightening story of a damaged family where lies and truth are intertwined.

Outstanding
Great story, dark, compelling, original and unsettling. The characters are really well drawn with the exception of the father…he is the one character that does not ring true and whose motives and actions remain unconvincing. Everyone else though….this is a real tour de force.

Not bad, not brilliant
An average book. Decent listen, neither awful nor brilliant. Just somewhere in between. Best picked up if you want something to listen to while getting things done, as not gripping enough to demand your total attention but good enough that you can have it on it the background
