I am a huge fan of Mike Omer’s Abbie Mullen and Zoe Bentley series so I was excited to get stuck into this one. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. I really struggled to connect with the characters and the writing just didn’t flow well. It was wordy and there was so much unnecessary filler. I only persevered because I wanted to know who it was and I’m not sure it was worth it. The author spends the whole book ramming a suspect down our throats and making him seem like the only bad guy only for the reveal to be completely obscure. Robin came across as immature and considering she was a therapist she had a lot of mummy issues. Her therapy sessions where she narrates what the child is doing were cringey to read and didn’t add anything to the story. Nothing really happens apart from some long winded therapy sessions and Robin nearly having a breakdown. The drama at the end was slightly more exciting than the rest of the book. I would recommend checking out Omer's other work instead though. 


I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
