This was most definitely over-hyped. It was average at best. The ending wasn’t terrible, but it was far from great

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge just how fantastic a narrator Richard Armitage is? This is the second book I’ve listened to in recent weeks that he’s narrated or co-narrated and he has honestly made the books and the characters come to life.

I’m not the biggest fan of Lisa Jewell - I find her books start really well but then get tedious towards the last third. And this is no exception. But the narration - that is something else. All the narrators are doing a great job, but Richard Armitage is doing an excellent job of making an already bad guy absolutely loathsome.

I’m totally not invested in this. I don’t like any of the characters and, honestly, I’m not sure I actually care what happened to Holly or whether Clare finds her or not. This is probably going to end up on my DNF pile

Still over half the book to go. I could be way off the mark here, but I really like the head of UCU, Firmin, for the murders
