Jo Spain is a fantastic writer and I was delighted to get a chance to read this. It is a great thriller, full of twists and plenty of characters with secrets. It kept me engrossed and it's one you'll race through to see what happens. The characters make it, however. Especially Mickey and Marcel. And the fascinating Maire.

This is another great thriller by Jo Spain. I was super excited to read it as I’ve enjoyed all of the other releases.
It didn’t disappoint and the book is well written, twisty and dark.
The story is unique and the characters are intriguing.
I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to anyone who likes this genre or author.

Jo Spain is a guaranteed good read I feel.
I will pick up her books without reading the blurb, as her name is enough.
This one entertained me plenty.
It's all kinds of twisty, and some proper tension filled moments.
Characters I would happily see in another, and another book (and I don't mean Luke and Rose).
A plot that I sometimes guessed at, but still had a few nice surprises in stall.
Enjoyable.

This was absolutely brilliant. The Perfect Lie is one of my favourite books and I honestly think this one was just as good.

I loved everything about this book - the writing style was nice to read and the characters were really well-developed. The story itself was fantastic - every chapter advanced the plot and there were so many twists and turns that even once you'd guessed something, there was always something else waiting to surprise you a few pages later.

I have nothing negative to say, and I would 100% recommend this book. The best one I've read so far this year.

Seductive and twisted. Highly recommended! Readers, find some quiet alone time to settle in with this one because you won't stop reading until you've turned the final page. Highly recommended to fans of mysteries, suspense and thrillers.

Jo Spain never disappoints me. I’ve loved all of her books so far and this one is just as bloody exciting.

Chapters are left on cliffhangers so you’ve always got to read that ever famous “one more chapter…”, the personalities of the characters are perfect for the storyline and I loved the differing settings from Ireland to the Caribbean. Jo sets the scene fabulously.

There are more twists than a corkscrew and I wasn’t expecting any of them. If you’re triggered by domestic abuse then perhaps think twice about reading but I think Jo handles it in a delicate way that isn’t seen as too disturbing.

I will be recommending and buying a finished copy for my bookshelf :)
