Thoughts

This was a really easy read, following the story of an unhappily married woman and how she ends up being something of a spy in her high class world. On top of that, a murder is committed and all the layers have to be unravelled to come to something of a happy ending. I whipped through this quickly, although I felt like some of the periphary characters could have been fleshed out more, and I wasn’t 100% sure that the way the staff were treated was realistic, but it was a quick and fun read.

Rating: 3 / 5
