I loved getting to know Ruth Galloway & her interesting life choices. This was a book that kept me hooked from start to finish & there were plenty of red herrings that kept me on my toes. Looking forward to reading lots more by this author.

This was such a popular book with my book club & I did enjoy it, but found parts really tedious. It’s a book that you don’t need to focus on too much, but has some wonderful characters.

An entertaining domestic thriller but I didn’t enjoy it as much as James’s darker novels.

A timeless classic that can be read over & over without the reader tiring of the wonders within. I’ve loved revisiting these adorable characters who, despite life’s incessant blows, keep on surviving.
