Thank you to Penguin Random House for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.

I read The Chalk Man and The Hiding Place in the last few months and CJ Tudors writing hooked me completely.

I spent this book (like the others) utterly confused and trying to figure out what was going on. Not in a this is completely far fetched and unbelievable sort of way, because CJ Tudor weaves all of the ends perfectly to connect and interact with each other beautifully. I’d say 95% of the plot points were a shock to me. There were one or two I “figured out” but I think that may have been the point was to let us have them.

Do you like thrillers? Do you like weird? Do you like thought provoking concepts? This book is for you.

I think the only thing I’d want for a future CJ Tudor book is a change in protagonist. All three of her mains have been men, middle aged, dealing with one struggle or another.
