This novel is a slow burner and definitely takes its time to get going but it is worth sticking with the scene-setting and character building. The characterization is brilliant, I particularly enjoyed Crystal's character first portrayed as an airhead trophy wife Atkinson shows us she has real depth, compassion, and strength as she is tested throughout the story.
The very dark subject matter is entwined & balanced with humour, the witty, sarcastic kind. It beautifully observes humanity and reveals the more annoying personality traits in a funny relatable way.
The various plotlines are all played out perfectly (maybe a little too perfect but hey it is fiction after all). It was great to finally catch up with Brodie and few other old faces again, fear not if you haven't read the rest of the series you don't need to Big Sky can be read as a standalone - though it's not his best book and you would be missing out!

This story was mainly focused on the characters and their relationship, so much so it was lacking in mystery. Maybe I would have been more invested in their relationship status if I had read the first two books in the series?!
It took me a while to get into the story and there were a few twists along the way but I couldn't say I was completely hooked at any point - I guessed the killer and sadly I don't think it is because I'm a top detective, it was an average read, I've read worse and I've read better.

If you are looking for an ingenious, gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller then look no further Die Alone is incredible...⠀⠀

Just don't make the same mistake I did picking it up before bed thinking you might be able to put it down and go to sleep, a truly unputdownable read - do make sure you hold on for the ride!⠀⠀

I whole-heartedly recommend any and all @simon_kernick but I think this is his best yet!! ⠀⠀

Three Wives & one Husband... What happens when a polygamous marriage goes wrong?
This was my first foray into the world of audiobooks, at first I found it really odd but after a little while, I got settled into the narrator's voice.
Those twists I thought I predicted, not by a long shot did I see coming! Fisher lets you think you know whats going on before she rips the carpet out from under you and makes you question everything. The tension is palpable.
It's entertaining & captivating! - Not the most believable storyline but take it with a pinch of salt and let it take you on a wild ride! Wild is putting it mildly... But I can't say more without giving it away, go have a listen and find out for yourself!
