This was so disappointing. I skimmed through a lot of the boring filler and rolled my eyes at the annoying red herrings. Lisa is usually a great author, but this one was terrible.
So Lisa Jewell's writing is great. Good writing.
However, these are very much more unsettling family dramas than thrillers in my opinion. With a very common theme of neglectful mother's throughout all the books I've read.
Not something I can really binge read so I'm going to take a bit of a break before trying to tackle more of her backlist.
This one in particular really didn't work for me. I found it boring and the ending really unsatisfactory.
