I have mixed emotions with this book. I stopped working to finish it as it got me so hooked up, it’s constantly on my mind. Main characters are Emma, Alistair, Tomas and Jade. These people are so crazy. I don’t know if this book is a reunion of psychotic people. I am so dazed. I just think there are some parts that can be removed from the book because of unnecessary details or perhaps just making it lengthy. Emma, on the other hand, is what? A bit stupid, trustworthy, vulnerable or just a woman who wants a man who’ll love and respect her, but she always finds herself being drawn to men who has attitudes she abhors.

Is she secretly engrossed to these kinds of people or just unfortunate or lacks the capability to discern people’s behaviour? I am not satisfied with the ending, albeit, it’s okay, not bad. But not convincing, or police in that “country” are just so stupid to fool. Hehe. Nonetheless, it was a good read, Somehow, it makes me remember the plot, the characters and I don’t mind reading another book from Amanda Robson. Thank you, NetGalley and Avon publishers UK from letting me read this book for free! :) You rock!

THis book whips back and forth between 4 characters so rapidly my head was spinning. None of the characters likable either. Jade seems to want to force her husband into having marital affairs and then catch him at it. Her husband Thomas is weak and a womanizer. Alastair is trying to develop a relationship with Emma while being hounded by his ex Heather and trying to take care of his son. Emma is wondering what Jade is up to and why Thomas keeps visiting her at her dental practice-does he really have pain or wanting to start something up. I only read about 1/4 book and just was too confused by the rapidly changing chapters and not caring about any characters to bother reading the rest.

It's gutting for me to leave a 1 star review, but this book was so unrealistic and too far fetched, there was no development of any of the characters at all.

This book kept me gripped so much I read it within 2 evenings. Tense storyline, Which kept me turning the (digital) pages. It took me a few pages to get to grips with who was telling the story as it chops and changes quite quickly between the characters.
Highly recommended.

Twists kept happening. Found this one hard to get into at the beginning..stuck with it and glad I did. Was an overall good read. The characters draw you in.


Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for an early release of this book..

Cunning and sinister. Robson's best work yet. A must read. Highly recommended.
Welcome to the twisty world where two couples are neighbours of each other. Jade and Tomas move in a new house where the couple next door, Emma and Alastair are seeing them moving in. Jade has doubt that Tomas is very fond of Emma who is according to her every men type. To Jade, Emma is a stereotype.
To Emma, Jade is a clusterfuck because of her odd behaviour.
And then the cat mouse game begins.
Tomas has a tooth infection and he goes to Emma who's a dentist and Jade is watching them everywhere. Jade was a forensic scientist before but now he left that work. Jade accuses Emma of having an affair with Tomas to which Emma clearly denies and says that Jade is behaving odd and there's nothing between her and Tomas.
Unconvinced Jade makes a plan to kill her husband and to set up Emma. But this story isn't that simple as it seems.
Alastair, who is divorcee to his previous wife Heather and has a son Stephen is a forensic scientist who does the forensic investigation of Tomas murder.
Ds Miranda Jupiter and DI Hamilton are assigned to the case of Tomas's murder.
Will they be able to find the killer or not? The ending of the story is sinister.
This book is Amanda's best work yet. She has done a great job in writing as well as in researching.
My favourite characters were Emma, Jade, Alastair and Heather. I enjoyed them very much.
Narration of the story is awesome. The story is told from four POV's, one is Emma's present, second is Emma's past, third is Alastair and fourth is Jade.
I highly recommend this brilliant work to every reader who reads psychological thrillers.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

Thank you so much NetGalley and the publisher for my complimentary eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I have read Robinson's previous 3 books are really liked them so I had really high hopes for this one however I was not crazy about it. I thought the writing was choppy and some of the plot to be unrealistic. I will definitely read this author again to give another one of her books a try.

The old saying no one knows what goes on behind doors is true for this book. Intense and terrifying in some places

I really hate leaving negative reviews but I just hated the way this book was written. In the first narrative. I’m sorry. I thought it was a great story but I couldn’t get past this x
