Thoughts

Another fun mystery thriller in the Thursday Club series - one thing I do really like about this series is that the next book’s activities are usually pretty much a direct result of what went on in the previous book. It’s not like the Death in Paradise problem that this seems like a hugely dangerous place to live. And the characters continue to be fun, especially as we gradually unpick layers of them and learn more about them. Lots of relationships are developing now, people falling in and out of love and working through what that means for themselves. Part of me wants to dislike this series because it’s just SO popular but I can’t argue with it being a good read.

Rating: 4 / 5
