Ratings and reviews

I have loved all her books up until this one. I had read the reviews and thought I should try it as my curiosity was getting the better of me. This book has definitely put me of the series which previously I had loved and had read several times . I was so invested to find out how Helen had coped after jail, etc and this book being shorter and based over a day just was not enjoyable and was not up to the thrills I had come to expect from the author.

Not up to the standard of the others. Cat and mouse. Lacking suspense. Although fiction, totally implausible in places. And someone needs to be given the job of proof reader as some awful mistakes - words missing, grammar etc. Usually a fan of Helen Grace thrillers but this was a let down.

Been a massive fan of the series but this book doesn't have the pull or magic of the rest, it's very short and just didn't feel like a shocking powerful story not sure what I was expecting.
