Ratings and reviews

Once I started reading this story, I could not put it down. It was a wonderfully thought out plot and well written. There were so many elements to this story and they all tied in together. The cast of characters and their personalities were all so different and I loved getting to know all of them. Jo Masters is someone I would entrust to look after my children and keep them safe. I felt devastated when the story was over and would really enjoy reading more stories with Jo, her family and work colleagues in them. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Well done!

Very enjoyable read from start to finish. I didn't work out the culprit so a good ending all round. Well written.

Very well-set up murder mystery. Never could have guessed the guilty party. But the story had an overall sadness to it.
