This book is one fast and dangerous rollercoaster ride from start to finish. It starts with Ruby finding a body during her morning row. Everyone says it's her missing husband Tom, but why doesn't she recognise him? And who killed him?

The story is told in now and then chapters. We gradually learn what's happened in the past and how it affects the present. There are tons of secrets and twists, maybe even too many, if that is possible. I managed to guess the killer, but not the motivation. I also guessed many of the twists, but it did not hinder my reading experience. The pace is very fast and I just had to keep turning the pages to get to the end. I really, really liked the writing style. This is one of those books that could have been longer in order to tie in all the loose ends that left me wondering in the end. None of the characters were very likable, but I don't mind that in my thrillers. In fact the more nasty the better.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a copy of this book. ( )

One of the most excellent books I have read so far this year. This is a book I recommend to everybody. The writing and storyline were both excellent. This book was so amazing that I literally finished it in less than three hours.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. ( )
