Intriguing, entertaining & hard to put down.

The structure of this novel was cleverly done to maximize suspense and uncertainly. I really liked the unique one-sided interviews with the police, I thought it gave momentum to the narratives and stopped it getting bogged down by the question/answer format.

It missed out on 5⭐ because I felt all the slightly different perspective of wandering around in the woods made drag in the middle for me. I also would have loved to see a more sinister ending (but that is because I'm obviously too dark and twisty!).

Overall an entertaining read with well-built characters and plenty of twists to keep you guessing. Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley & Nuala Ellwood.

Thanks to Penguin Books UK & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
