"That was the most frustrating thing about dead people. They held all the secrets."
6 degrees is a cracking thriller that shows the extent to how some peoples lives can become inextricably linked.
Bekki Pate doesn't pull any punches, and presents a group of characters with deep flaws and problems, showing how their lives intersect and impact on the others. This is also a very mature book, handling difficult issues and questioning the limits and morals of love, sex and professional responsibility.
There were some sections of the book that I felt would have benefited from a clearer timeline, it was sometimes difficult to seperate what was happening on what day, but ultimately that doesn't detract from the readers enjoyment of the story.
This is a thrilling, slightly disturbing and atmospheric book, and I cannot wait to read more from the author.
