Review: Twisty plotting!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 31, 2012
I read this novel in about three days! The central characters have much to contend with, and carry the plot through a mix of murder, friendship, love; and Ellie's devastating secret.The plot had so many twists and turns it certainly kept me guessing! It flows well as we follow James and the nightmare of discovering his murdered flatmate.I admit to getting a bit miffed with Fran for sleeping with Bob- when she was in love with James! I wasn't sure about the chinese girl, the car accident was just a little too much of a coincidence to swallow. A beefy three and a half to four star rating for me. That said, the author is skilled at creating a complicated emotional plot whilst keeping the narrative readable and I look forward to more. A very good debut novel and hugely enjoyable.
