The Third Wife by Lisa Jewell
3.0

This was definitely my least favourite of Jewell's work that I have read. I'm glad it wasn't the first of her work I read because I probably wouldn't have picked up more.
The characters were unlikable and uninteresting. The mystery was weak. It's a character study about this family, who all take after their terrible father but there's also this thing going about the dead thrid wife.

With some of the voice I work, I did wonder if I would have liked the book better if I had physically read it. Some just make characters even more unlikable than they already were

Also, this is set during the 2012 London Olympics, which just seems so random now.
