Diane Robertson asked Clare Mackintosh:

Hi, Really enjoyed your book, though am so against violence of any sort, and the ending makes me think he got away with all the abuse and murders of both his children. Granted he couldn't be with Jennifer who he reckons is the love of his life so that could be his "punishment", but it does not fit the crimes, nor goes anywhere near any sort of justice. I like seeing justice, even if only in stories and films. 1 more?

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
