My Review ↓
4 ****
Although this ended up being a great, emotional read, it did start off really slow and a little bit confusing in places. I don't think I really got into it until about 40% if not a little later.


The characters were great, though I found Jude to be quite ignorant, but I loved Ashleigh and her compassionate nature as well as great investigative skills. She was a fabulous character to follow. As was Dawn.



I've read thriller's set in the Lake District before and they were amazing, but this one was just off, which was disappointing. This author definitely likes going into super fine details about places and it could be quite repetitive. I wanted the story, not more of the same layout. And we do get that in the end. 



The storyline was really good though, definitely a 'who dunnit' book, but it's a little predictable. But that didn't deflect from the story and following the detectives working it. It was a great read and I loved the ending a lot. 



There were a lot of things that could have been made a bit tighter and some things I'm sure have been overlooked by editors. There were a couple of places that were contradicting and made me raise a brow in question. Some of the things in the investigation itself were wrong or not possible and could have done with some more research.



But overall, the start of slow but the second half of the book is mind blowing and addictive.

This has been my favourite series from this author. The characters and the drama all blended together to make exciting stories and intense romance. This book... was in incredible. Though it made me feel a little uncomfortable, I do understand that small towns of America do have strong racial opinions, I’m just a massive hater of racism. But LA Cotton served it just right, with a lot of compassion and with ease. I loved Mya! She’s feisty, different in a sense that she’s rather moody at first and she’s incredibly strong. Everyone knows I prefer female leads to be strong, and this character definitely was. An

But, nevertheless, I dived into this book with an open mind, plus I LOVE psychological thrillers, and this story is written exactly as a psychological thriller should be written. The back and forth, leaving the reader in suspense, is exactl what I love about this genre. So in other words, if you don't like the genre don't bother reading. Simple as. Back to my review... It was intense story throughout, with both a female and male POV, which was great. I liked the going back so many years then flitting back to the present. It definitely keeps us readers on our toes that's f

I’ve been a huge fan of Lisa Gardner since my late teens and I squealed like a child at Christmas when I was given this opportunity to read this! *insert love heart eye emojis here*. I don’t think Lisa Gardner is capable of producing a rubbish book with awful storyline! I’ve seen with each book that her passion, her imagination and her research have gotten extraordinarily better and better and from book one, you’d think she couldn’t get much better; she’s always been extremely gifted with thrillers that’ll keep you guessing. This one is one of those ones where you’re brain gets completely invested in to storyline, the characters and the plot. You get completely hooked and hang there in suspense.
