Reviews

[Sherrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Better and grittier than this type of book usually is, and highlights the dangers of phone scams.

3 chapters in and I’m choosing to pass on it, it’s just not grabbing my attention.

There’s a Tremmarnock series but it’s hard to see where this fits in!? I find this somewhat curious.

Anyway, sadly, it’s a 1⭐️ from me.

(AUDIOBOOK) Better than expected. Thought it would be fluffy but covered financial scams, and mistreatment of women. Girl moves to Cornwall because her husband bought a guest house. She's clearly frightened of him. The accents were a bit grating.

Nice easy read and although predictable I still enjoyed the journey through Cornwall. Good characters and highlights scams targeting older people with bank savings. Sounded plausible to 80 year old, masterminded by clever scheme posing as Police. Page turner - recommend read
