Nominated for a Theakstons Crime Book of the Year award, this was certainly different, with a good plot, but for me totally let down by its own (non) ending; it seemed almost to end before resolving itself, so you had to make assumptions about how it would end, and one key plot bit was left totally unresolved – (the heroine’s step brother and why he killed her parents).
Otherwise, pretty good, strong and different characters, clever plotting (apparent initial victim, abused wife is in fact the abuser).
Would read her next book, but needs to be able to plot an ending!
