In a dark, dark wood thee was a dark, dark house;
And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room;
And in the dark, dark room there was a dark, dark cupboard;
And in the dark, dark cupboard there was ... A skeleton!
- traditional Halloween tale
Brilliant description of the woods in the cold. Brought a chill while reading which added to the thriller-type storyline/mystery. Descriptions of the dark house with the candling hit reflecting in the window, fragile ghostly flames, etc. Thanks so muc ...more

Disclaimer: The fact that it is compared to Gone Girl or Girl on the Train is laughable. Not even close! The characters are unlikable and the story is just ridiculous and unbelievable. Don't get sucked in thinking it will be like Gone Girl.
Having said that I liked the book. It was engaging although a little predictable. It's not one I'm likely to remember much about a year from now. Good vacation read, but nothing deep that will stick with you forever like so many good novels I have read before. ...more

I couldn't believe for one minute that Nora, a 26 year old woman was still mourning for her lost lover who broke up with her when she was 16! Come on; not realistic.
So Nora was invited to a "hen" party by a friend she hadn't spoken to since she was 16! It turns out the friend Clare, is marrying her old boyfriend. I couldn't imagine why she accepted the invitation but on she goes.

What a bunch of whiners! Everyone in the book has an inflated sense of entitlement, and so it is no big surprise when it all comes to a head at a "hen" party (i.e. girls' weekend). If you have no expectations, and need to kill time on a long flight, then this book will do that. But there are no surprises. And there are better authors.

This was a super quick read that had me immersed despite feeling a bit predictable. I recommend it for travel or a Sunday in bed. Nothing mind blowing but pretty good entertainment!
