Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

An absolute winner from Caroline Mitchell. This stand alone book is so good. The chapters are told from the perspective of Emma, both now and in the past, her husband Alex, and Luke who was her teacher. Luke very cleverly made friends with his pupil who had quite a tough home life. It creeped me out to be honest, seeing how easily young girls could get seduced by the attention. I like Emma’s wedding boutique and the interactions with her sister Theresa and shop assistant Josh. There were some funny exchanges with brides-to-be! It was so chilling in parts that it gave me goosebumps as I read. Especially when Emma was home alone and hearing things. The setting in Mersea Island meant their home got cut off by the tide at certain times, and this added tension. Very well written and perfectly paced. There were some light-hearted parts and some really suspenseful parts of the book, it kept me turning the pages. Silence, secrets and lies…this book has it all. Thanks to Caroline Mitchell, Thomas & Mercer, and NetGalley for the ARC copy in which I give an honest review.
