What a super, silly book! I really enjoy Jane Corry's books, even though they are all semi-autobiographical with all the references to Cornwall and being a prison officer. I though the final twist related to her friend's culpability was unnecessary, but I enjoyed the usual twisty-turny narrative and 'ah-ha!' moments, as well as the poignancy of her description of miscarriage. The two stories side by side was a great device too. A great read!

Started listening to the book by Jane Corry, very enjoyable so far. Early indications that I will be recommending it.

835 pages read so far for #JoysofJune Readathon, and 3 books finished.

Clwojick Ummm... that cover alone makes it an anticipated 4star read for me! STACKING! 🙃🙂🙃 4y

Andrew65 @Clwojick 27% in and enjoying it so far. If you ever want a book in with an aromatherapy connection for a challenge this is the perfect read. 4y

Meh!! It wasn't bad, just not that engaging. Familiar characters and tropes.

Definitely enjoyed the story and kept me guessing till the end but I felt the end was kind of rushed in a way..I can‘t explain it without spoilers but still a good read.

Just got home from 5 days in cold Texas to have my heart warmed by #bookmail. Thank you so much @Lel2403 for the signed book and the gorgeous bookmark! I'm so excited about both! My camera phone sucks, so for those wondering, the bookmark says "An hour spent reading is one stolen from paradise." So true!

Good chic/lit thriller with multiple twists even up to the last page. Alternate chapter format which I really enjoy! Worth a read!

Really enjoyed the plot in this book. there are three distinct parts and towards the end of the middle the dots were just beginning to join. It left me really eager to read the third part which tied all the ends together. A good summer read 💜

High hopes for this one based on the synopsis but was disappointed. Well-written but basically a book about women being horrible to each other, doing underhanded things, and basically pandering to a man who is obviously not worth it 😒 Rating: 2 ⭐️

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, Penguin Books UK, for the opportunity to review an ARC.

Catching up on #Pigeonhole

This was a good thriller with some unexpected twists. Great reading along with the author. She had obviously done her research about prison life and epilepsy. Great, flawed characters.

4*.
This thriller kept me guessing until the end. Plenty of surprises with twists and turns in every chapter. I never knew what to expect and found it all quite gripping. I read this book via the Pigeonhole app and was eagerly awaiting each stave to find out what was going to happen next. I did not predict the ending which was something of a bolt out of the blue. Well written, suspenseful story which I very much enjoyed.
