Liane Moriarty did it again. This was another hard-hitting domestic drama with a body count.
Clementine, Sam and their two daughters went to a neighbourhood BBQ. It was just a casual gathering on a laid back afternoon. Six responsible adults, three cute kids and a playful dog. So how did it end up with a rush to the emergency department and a few days later, a body?
I loved the characters. Their motivations made sense to me. I emphatised a great deal with Erika and Clementine. I had been a version ...more
