This was the kind of quick and fun read that I needed to get out of a bit of a Very Emotionally Stressful and Serious Book phase (we’ve all been there, right?)
Fast-paced and the right kind of far-fetched, Bella Mackie’s fiction debut was everything you could want from a funny thriller…. Even if the ending was a little disappointing. That said, I’m the first to admit I tend to find endings of plot-driven novels disappointing as I get too immersed in the thrill of it and am not willing to let it finish. Funnily enough, it’s not dissimilar to my experiences of nights out.
Did Grace commit the crime she’s imprisoned for? No, not according to her. Did she murder her entire family? Yes, according to her. Was it cold-blooded? She’d say it’s more like justice. She’s coming in hot on Cathy and Heathcliffe from Wuthering Heights’ tail as my favourite literary narcissist and I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience.
