Grace has lost everything.
And she will stop at nothing to get revenge.

A wild look into the mind of a killer, this was great fun to listen to, I binged in a week or so.

Really enjoyed this book!

Left me gasping for more. Couldn’t put it down. Had the paper back but no time. Glad I got to hear it.

Great story,

But so furious with the end. Loved 99% but physically shook my head at why such an underwhelming end was chosen, at such odds with the rest of the story. Very unsatisfying.

Great story I was hooked

This is so darkly funny, as much as Grace is an obvious sociopath you really do connect with her & find yourself backing her 😂 although the ending is an ending that is not expected!

Would 100% recommend, I’ve already told my friends about this book after only listening to the first 2 chapters & they’ve all downloaded it too!

Best listen in a long time!

The whole book was a really good pace, I found myself really enjoying it and will definitely read another by Bella should she write one.
I found the ending a little disappointing, but actually I did make a change to a lot of your classic murder books!

Easy to listen to

This is a good story, pretty much the same as Kind Hearts and Coronets minus some redeeming features and the narration is not great but still listenable.

Kind Hearts and Coronets

Left me feeling unsatisfied and eye rolling.
However the journey to it is good.

Predictable ending
