It’s been a while since I listened to this book, I jumped straight into this after listening to Close to Home which just blew me away. Unfortunately for me, this book just did not work for me. I think it didn’t help I was listening to it when it was the beginning of lockdown and my mind was all over the place. It took me ages to finish it and I lost track of who was who and the story fell flat for me. I feel like I need to justify this and say this is me because looking at the reviews everyone loves it, I just didn’t get on with it.

The premise for this was interesting and I was floored in bits of the story. The twists well I did not see them coming! Tackling dementia, but at the same time making you feel like this Harper was all bad was cleverly done. The real story, however, was just really quite sad. I do enjoy stories that flip everything you know and this is what happens here. Fawley, he can’t get his head around what is going on, and we learn more of his heartbreaking story.

I said it in the last review, I love the introduction of the social media, with snippets from Twitter and Facebook because it can railroad cases and some people, well it shows you how vile some people can be!

Lee Ingleby and Emma Cunliffe did such a fab job of narrating again and I do love listening to the series as I get to hear their voices bring everyone to life. I will definitely listen to the next one in the series, and who knows maybe I will try this one again in the future.
