Great story

I really liked the main characters and it was beautifully narrated. Bits of it were a bit farcical and the ending was a bit daft but still very enjoyable to listen to it

Really quite funny 😁

Another great book by Anita Waller. she writes with a northern comic feel to this book which is really a twisty little thriller!

Revenge is a dish best served cold

It was a very dark comedy, some times I took a deep breath, others laughed.
Sad how the characters lives were a mess.
Worth listening to.

A good story

A good story with a bit of a disappointing ending. The personalities of the characters seemed to change right at the end which didn’t seem logical.
