Chandler creates believable characters, having the ability to make the struggles of ordinary people compelling. Brigitte is an original hero — an ordinary person, with her own struggles, drawn into extraordinary events. The domestic drama is as compelling as the crime investigation.

I was really impressed with Tania Chandler's debut novel, Please Don't Leave Me Here; a book that explored two very different and unique sides to her lead character Brigitte, a wife, mother and victim. The balance between crime and literary-like insight was perfect and complementary. The follow-up however, didn't hit the same chords.

Disappointing. It was less a murder mystery than it was a chick lit story of an alcoholic mother with a failing marriage. I had not read any previous books, and am unlikely to as I disliked the main character, finding her annoying and immature. The ending felt rushed, and left me with questions. I wouldn't class this as a murder mystery and at one point wondered if the title referred to the marriage (or perhaps the book itself). 2.5 stars.
