Haven’t read any of her more recent books; this is quite unlike the (as I remember it) rather gritty working class realism of her early books.
This is basically an elaborate thriller set principally in the world of podcasts, and involves the central heroine, a rape victim, jetting all round Europe trying to uncover a mystery, which relates back to her rape, that she has discovered via a ‘true crime’ podcast. Both subtle, complex, improbable at times and has a real narrative pace. So a completely different genre from the earlier books.
Good? I am not 100% sure, read in midwinter with a horrible cold, would be better as beach reading in mid summer, I think.
