The story was interesting but I struggled to picture the communal garden at the heart of this story. Some of the character name choices were a little jarring. There was a bizarre phrase ‘Irish twin’ which I have never heard before but I…

Not sure how I felt about this one. It was a page turner for sure as there could be so many suspects and I just wanted to get to the end to see who hurt Grace. I felt a bit uncombortable with what the children were doing at 12 and 13 years…

The moment I read the inside cover of this book I was intrigued. The setting reminded me of my own neighbourhood but the characters couldn't be farther from that of my own neighbors. I was interested to read on, meet everyone living on the…

Words cannot explain to you how much I loved this book. It is a beautifully crafted suspense/family drama/physiological thriller. Thank you so much to Netgalley and Atria Books for allowing me an advanced copy to read and review. So let's…
