This was a random pick up and it was soo good!

Had this sitting on my shelves for years and I finally picked it up and really enjoyed it!

My first CJ Tudor and the complexity of the story surprised me, a great read!

I was pleasantly surprised, this wasn’t as bad as what I’ve heard!

Wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I did!
