A psychological thriller that starts out with the murder of one woman in a quaint English village. The story alternates between the perspectives of three main characters: Anna Andrews, a newsreader who is reluctant to cover the case and who looks to be a potential next victim of the murderer, and D.I. Jack Harper, who is placed on the case but almost immediately becomes a suspect in the investigation. The third main character is the killer, who could be either Jack or Anna or neither. Feeney is rather good at blindsiding the reader whilst still leaving more than enough breadcrumbs throughout the story. It is not something most mystery writers excel at and this quality makes her novels (and especially this one) even more engaging.
