In this book, we get to know Jane who is a dog walker in a rich neighbourhood. When she meets Eddie on one of her walks, she sees the opportunity to get out of her previous life. Eddie's wife and her best friend died the summer before but have not yet been found and Jane tried to find out more about what actually happened. But Eddie is not the only one keeping secrets.

It took me quite some time to get through the book, however, this was definitely not because of the writing but rather just a time issue. I did really enjoy reading this book. I did like how the story was split between Jane and Bea which allowed you to follow along both of them. And let me just say, the twist there is towards the end was quite thrilling!

However, after that twist, I did expect a little more from the story. I thought it was wrapped up a little too fast and easy. The event in Jane's past that she is running was made to be that really scary and dark thing but actually was not as bad as I expected. Also, the ending to me just feels like the story was cut short and not properly finished.

Nonetheless, I'm really curious about the actual Jane Eyre story now though since this one is supposed to be a retelling about it!
