LoveReading Says

Longlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2014.

One of our Books of the Year 2013.

I do love this author’s structure.  We have a crime … or do we?  We have a court case but what is Joanna being tried for?  We have multi-voices but never a full explanation and so the plot builds in a compulsive spiral of doubt.  It is not until the final pages and after twist upon twist that we are finally given a punch in the stomach, an ending that still leaves a question.  Did she or didn’t she?  Is she mad or not?  You’ve got to read this inventive domestic drama to find out.  Highly recommended, read it and then all her others, particularly The Donor.  She is very special.
