The Couple at Number 9 by Claire Douglas
5.0
This was my 100th book of the year! I can’t believe how many books I’ve read this year - so many great ones and this was one of them. I was so relieved this book ended up being amazing after a few disappointments.
Saffron, or Saffy, is pregnant when she and her husband move into her grandmothers old cottage. They’re working on adding an addition when two skeletons are discovered buried in the garden. The book is told through several points of view, including Saffy and her mom Lorna. During the course of the investigation secrets are uncovered and Saffy and her mom are unsure of everything they’ve ever thought to be true.
So many twists and turns with one that completely blindsided me! I love it when that happens. I really enjoyed this story. I’m not sure who’s POV I enjoyed the most as they were all great and brought something different to the table. I really enjoyed Saffy anxiousness and love of staying home instead of partying, and I really enjoyed Lorna’s free spirit. The other points of views were also great and I really enjoyed learning how they all came together as secrets were revealed. I gave this 4.5 stars and highly recommend you check this out! I want to extend gratitude to @netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.
