enjoyed :D 
not really read any sort of thrillers in a while so was a nice wee change, to an extent expected the plot twist but still AMAZE !!!! didn’t know exactly how it was going to pan out but had a sneaky suspicion 

raging though that granny lizzie wasn’t actually just a little old lady :((((
