The Lyme Regis Murders 

I found the book to be an easy read and was full of surprises. The main character Tammy was someone who broke all stereotypical moulds and I loved both her and the author for making her both diverse and who openly shocked me with her behaviour throughout the novel. The story line was intriguing and although didn't focus too heavily on the actual brutal murder of the children it was the underlying crime that dominated the novel. This allowed me to get swept away with the story and not too emotionally disturbed by the killings. For me, it was just the right balance.

Along with Tammy I found all the characters to be well developed and evolved alongside the plot. The ending was very satisfying, tying up all loose ends to the crimes being investigated. I particularly enjoyed the final pages and the epilogue which highlighted what each of the characters were up to now. This added an element of realism to the ending which I found fulfilling and rounded off the novel well.
