Read November 2020
I liked the idea behind this book but the execution was a little thin and flat. How much can rumours affect a small town? Well not a lot apparently. There was a storyline where one person was being targeted but then nothing happened and I'm not sure if we were ever told who did that.
There was an overlarge cast of characters and hardly any development given to any of them. Even our main character Joanna was very bland and had few interests. The intermittent passages from "Sally's" point of view were fascinating and I wish we'd had more of them.
The last quarter was gripping and I liked the twist but the ending itself was quite abrupt and a couple of things were brought up earlier and all but abandoned. That very last passage was also rather chilling. Overall great ideas but a bit more work needed fleshing things out and tying up loose ends.
3/5 stars
