[C.J. J Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The voices of the characters were well written, particularly Millicent. I was hooked quite early on and found it difficult to put down. I was kept guessing until well into the book and although the ending was slightly implausible, It was still well worth reading. Looking forward to picking up other books she has written.

Met plezier gelezen! Knap hoe het verhaal zich ontvouwt terwijl de gebeurtenissen afwisselend worden verteld door oma (Gromoe) Millicent, haar schoondochter Maria, haar kleindochters Prunella (Pruimedot), Daphne (Daffie) en Maya (Knoedeltje) en buurvrouw Theresa Carmody. Wel ietwat voorspelbaar, maar toch aangenaam ontspannende lectuur. 3½ ster

Natuurlijk heb je al snel je vermoedens wat er is gebeurd, wie wat heeft gedaan. Maar het verhaal heeft heerlijke kronkelingen, waardoor het toch nog spannend blijft. Het is natuurlijk ook spannend wie waar achter komt en hoe dat afloopt.
Het idee om vanuit verschillende mensen te schrijven werkt prima. Al vond mijn vriend het wel jammer dat de vader des huizes niets vertelde.

Four stars for the writing: wry wit and humour galore. The storyline/plot not so much.

This was a surprising enjoyable read for me, usually I am anti reading books with multiple characters per chapter telling their version of the same story but this worked and only sometimes was a little repetitive. Worth a read.
