Customer Reviews
A twist & turns & secrets you’d never guess!
I got this copy free on Apple Books and was not disappointed one bit. While the story tells of Madeleine and her daughter Poppy the characters that align the story are believable. Whilst it felt that you knew what would happen the story develops beyond what one could imagine. Really look forward to reading the next one
I loved it!
Absolutely loved this book from start to finish. You build such a detailed picture in your mind of the characters and the location, it’s fantastic. A great read for my first of 2026!
Couldn’t put the book down
Such a good read and I really enjoyed it, love a good juicy thriller! I’ll have to read more of her books for sure!
