If you thought your family life was complicated, you should read this book! Warren Johns, the father  leaves his wife – with whom he has 3 children for his young, pregnant mistress, marries her and has 2 more children. He has a daughter, now a recovering drug addict, from another relationship who he won’t acknowledge as his and continues as a serial adulterer. It all starts going wrong with the murder of wife 2 and their children and Warren’s disappearance, making him the prime suspect. Don’t get me wrong, this all makes for a rich and varied plot which Tyley handles very well and keeps the reader intrigued with plot twists and well-drawn additional characters. It’s fast paced and well-written – I would have personally liked the revelation of who the murderer  was to have been a bit more drawn out as I found the denouement went too fast – guess I was just enjoying it all  and didn’t want it to be over!
