Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book.
This was my first Andrea Mara book and if I am honest will probably be my last. There is certainly a good storyline at the heart of this book with a strong link to an incident in the past and plenty of characters.
Sive and Aaron are travelling to London for a reunion with his university pals and bringing their 3 young children with them. My question here was simply why? No one else had children with them and would you really but of course if they hadn’t there would have been no story. Then Sive, struggling with a baby in a buggy tells her 6 yr old to take the 3 yr old onto the tube ahead of her. Again…..would any mother in a strange city do that? The tube door closes, both children on it but only one gets off.
All the usual twists and turns you’d expect in a thriller and a few red herrings but to me there didn’t seem to be any real substance in them. It took me two weeks to read this as I simply got bored with it and left it down.
