My review

This was such an intriguing read. We had dual timelines and following the story of some bodies that were found in the garden of the couples new house that had been left to them.

I really didn’t predict the ending which is always a good thing as some thrillers can be predictable.

Was an interesting concept learning what actually happened and seeing the investigation into it.
