About this listen
The addictive and compelling thriller from the million-copy bestselling author of The Girl Before
When Finn Hensen gets a call from his sister Jess to say their father has died, neither is heartbroken. Their parents divorced many years ago, after which their father, Jimmy, continued to live a bohemian lifestyle in sun-soaked Mallorca, while his family returned to the UK.
Ownership of his home, a beautiful but dilapidated farmhouse in the mountains, now passes to Finn and his sister. The only problem is that Jimmy recently remarried for the third time, and his new wife, Ruensa, is still living there.
The pair agree that Finn should go to Mallorca and tactfully take possession of their inheritance. When he arrives, however, Finn is surprised to find that Finca Siquia has been completely transformed into a chic Mediterranean bolthole by Ruensa - along with her twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Roze. The Spanish police, meanwhile, are asking awkward questions about Jimmy's death... Are Ruensa and Roze the helpless victims of circumstance? Or will they stop at nothing to get Finca Siquia for themselves?

Ok
Not my favourite JP book, story was a bit drawn out and not as dramatic as I would have liked

Just missed the 5
As others have said 80% was great. But by the end I wasn’t really bothered about any of the characters. I even listened twice as I thought I was missing something.

A quick read with frustrating characters
The other reviews say how boring and pathetic the character is, Wasn't that the point? I found I was trying to guess what was happening throughout. I do agree the ending was rushed. It didn't need to be spelled out what happened but could've had more viewpoints at the end.

Hmmmm..
I usually like JP Delaney’s books gripping to the end but this one had a disappointing ending.

Feel like it needs a sequel!
As others have said, it started well, but ending a little bit disappointing, Could do with a sequel to pick up some of the loose ends!

Not his best book
I found this less than satisfying. The plot was confusing and drawn out beyond its credibility
