A large portion of the story is from Nick/Alistair’s perspective, and spending this much time in the mind of a devilish sociopath may be a turnoff for some readers. Jewell consistently creates compelling characters, so even with the predictable twists, this will delight her many fans and readers of domestic suspense.
Burke’s trademarks of sudden violence, rough justice, and lyrical descriptions of people and places are on full display here. A knowledge of the other books about the Hollands is not necessary but will add poignancy to Bessie’s story.
With relentless pacing, this novel is perfect for fans of domestic thrillers. Every chapter dives deeper into the couple’s deceit, obsession, and the lengths they will both go to get what they want. A true page-turner, this is a must-read for fans of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins.
Readers familiar with French will love this book, as will those who like true crime, strong female protagonists, and stories where the dog is the hero.
