murders, mystery and so many secrets to uncover. This was a book that had me shocked and wondering why as I read this story. The characters were interesting and so very intense. This was a great start to a new series. I am ready to read the next one.Thank you NnetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

This is a difficult book for me to review as I didn’t really enjoy so much, if felt very over complicated and I did find my attention wandering at times. The writing wasn’t bad but it seemed that there was far too many characters making it times a bit hard to follow and although I like my thrillers to keep me guessing this was a bit too much. Overall perhaps this just wasn’t a book for me but others may enjoy it more. A quick read and worthy of 3 stars.
My thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me the chance to read the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Unbelievably good crime novel set in central Perthshire. The small town feel almost smothers you as you get to grips with the community life in such a small town. Shannon goes missing and the impact ripples through the lives of her family, friends an£ the wider community. Once the police arrive all sorts of secrets and past histories start to unravel and nobody is left unscarred.

I hope that Jessie returns and that Perthshire continues to play a role in the books.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this arc.
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was absolutely hooked from page one. I had to really focus in the beginning to grasp who was who. But I rushed back to it every time I had to put it down.
An ending you won't see coming. I definitely recommend it.

I reading this book but found that I just couldn’t get into it and gave up after 20%. There were so many characters all muddled together and I had no idea what was going on!
