Critic reviews

"Told from multiple points of view, this raw and painfully real portrayal of insecurities, guilt, shame and postnatal anxiety is complex, nuanced and moving." (Guardian)

"People are calling this the new Apple Tree Yard, but I’d beg to differ.... I’d argue its infinitely better" (The Pool)

‘Well-written, pacy and full of twists and turns." (Independent)

Brilliant book and very well narrated.

This is such a good novel; it highlights so many issues experienced today not only in the world of politics but in the justice system and difficulties for women in both those institution’s. Never dry or boring, the story is one I couldn’t stop listening to and it is brilliantly narrated. My only concern is that having finished this story, can I find another as good?!

OK

Not a patch on Anatomy of a Scandal, the narration was excellent though it kept me listening until the end.

Compulsive listening

Excellent story and very well narrated- really compelling to get to end of the drama and a great twist too!!

Disappointing

Not the authors best which I suppose is the curse of writing an excellent book, forever to be compared.

Based on my favourite topics, politics, current affairs and the law, it was therefore, surprisingly disappointing.

Really good story

Well narrated and well written but somewhat messy after enjoying Anatomy of a Scandal so much that it is safe in my archive for another day. I think that perhaps it was just too long and with so much angst (understandable in the circumstances) that I really felt for all concerned. However, the story became disjointed during the trial sequences that inspire the last third of this novel and I found myself both confused and irritated. Exactly where was this going and just how many characters had played their part in this 'accidental death or murder'. So much so that I just wanted to get to the end so that I knew - and believe me, it became really messy. Too many strands, too many coincidences and too much subterfuge for my liking. But perhaps it will suit you better - and Sarah really does write well.

Not for me!

I love politics, current affairs and independent women. Despite all these things being present here, this book is not for me. I just find it a bit dull and long winded. The narration is very good though.

Sarah Vaughan does it again

Brilliant - yet another good novel from Sarah. Kept me guessing till the end and what a twist! I look forward to the next.
