Customer Reviews
Great read
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love Claire’s style of writing and really feel as though I’m there, in the book, not just reading it. I was on the edge of my seat from very early on and would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good whodunnit/thriller
Enjoyable read over all
This was a interesting storyline but some of the subject matter seemed familiar though I couldn’t place from where - that said it was entertaining and enjoyable over all - one point the language at times was dated “ suffering from dementia” is not a term that people with dementia care for because it hints at victims and negativity and does nothing to reduce stigma.
Could not put it down
Incredible
