Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
I liked the way the story opened at the end, it was instantly gripping, how did we get here? Part of the answer is years of abuse inflicted upon soon to be ex-wife Imogen and current girlfriend Naomi. Original ex-wife Ruby had seemingly few troubles in her marriage to Phillip - the deceased - but she soon changes her mind about him.
Some of the events of the book are a little unbelievable - why don't the neighbours notice and call the police? Also the timeline seemed very quick although Google tells me that in the UK (where I live - not that I have much experience with funerals other than attending a couple) funerals can be as little as two days later if there are no suspicious circumstances.
Also some of the flashback timings were a little odd as one was mentioned as being x years, x months and 1 day (x as a substitute for numbers I do not remember), why the 1 day? Overall it lacked a lot of mystery and suspense.
