A very intricate story with complicated family dynamics and a maze like plot . I stayed with the book because I enjoyed its old fashioned style and its polished prose but it had some lengthy parts arduous to get through .

I always enjoy this author's entertaining , suspenseful and twisty little stories and this one just fits the mold , I devoured it like a candy bar, especially the unexpected last bite. And I agree with a previous comment, I could not do the audio and got the paperback instead.I always enjoy this author's entertaining , suspenseful and twisty little stories and this one just fits the mold , I devoured it like a candy bar, especially the unexpected last bite.

May and Athens' narrating skills help the story take off quite rapidly in spite of a few annoying fillers . Once one of the main protagonist ( young Olivia ) disappears, it is hard to stop listening...Police reports of interviews punctuate the plot , increasing the suspense. It seems that in all her books the author has a frustratingly stupid character, that is why I am giving only 3 stars.May and Athens' narrating skills help the story take off quite rapidly in spite of a few annoying fillers .

A very entertaining audio , suspenseful and absorbing .I would have probably skipped pages if I had read the paperback but the excellent performance of Georgia Maguire as a narrator kept the story interesting and fast-paced .

It was like reading a Grisham novel but à la Nordic Noir , where social realism takes over the plot and brutal, graphic details make it quite somber .

What a disappointment after her wonderful earlier books . I ended up skimming through this tedious, repetitive, third-rate melodrama and non-sensical plot which insults the reader's intelligence .

A classic romance, light and easy to read , I would have preferred more historical facts and less melodrama , the last part of the book was tedious and useless .

This story is stretched to a maximum with tedious details about babysitting routines , an incredible number of coffee meetings and other boring housekeeping descriptions .
Tash, the journalist ,is no Annika Bengtzon believe it, so weak , bland and obtuse.
Also, the ending is frustrating for we do not know if the culprit is going to pay or not.This story is stretched to a maximum with tedious details about babysitting routines , an incredible number of coffee meetings and other boring housekeeping descriptions .

A fast-paced , intricate page-turner taking place in the dramatic setting of the Cornish Coast . The characters and the dynamics of their relationships are interesting , moving and intriguing.

I'm grateful for the chance to have learned so much about the Vietnam War's aftermath for nurses in this book. I realized that the "un-homecoming " of Frankie was more traumatizing than her actual participation in the war. I caught myself crying several times , an extraordinary book.I'm grateful for the chance to have learned so much about the Vietnam War's aftermath for nurses in this book.

There is a name fot this genre : erotic horror . I regret having read this maliciuos, unsound, unnecessary novella. The author sabotages her own work, the beutiful turns sordid . A sick creation to be avoided .

A very complex story rooted in WWII . Pen and paper needed to keep track of the too numerous characters and their difficult names. Too heavy and sluggish to compare to a thrilling Scandi Noir , the title and the cover of the book are misleading.

A complete letdown , it is hard to believe this is the author of The Maidens. Do not bother.
