I was pulled into this story line very quickly, but the ending left me feeling a little let down. I had some suspicions as to who the killer was, but I'll admit I never suspected the person it turned out to be. That's mostly due to the fact that the ending almost made no sense to me. Therefore, I had to lower my rating a bit.

I couldn't quite grasp how Neve pieced together the suspect. The ending felt rushed, as if it was thrown together at the last minute.

One big annoyance that I had with the book in general was how repetitive the most mundane tasks became, such as what foods they were eating. I realize that life can be rather boring at times, but I don't want to read about it! I started skimming a lot of the unnecessary details to get to the more interesting parts. The book definitely needed a bit of editing to cut out so much filler.

Neve Connolly was having an affair but now Saul has been murdered. She cleans all traces of her visits after she finds Saulâs body. Inspector Alastair Hitching is trying to find out why his investigation leads him constantly back to Neve. Are her lies catching up to her or is it something in her past? Read this book to find out all the answers to who killed Saul and why Neve is lying so much. Recommended!
