Review:
Gytha Lodge has produced another intriguing and gripping thriller. Zoe is a character who does not deserve to die so terribly but each of her close friends have something that they desperately need to hide. As the book proceeds each one of them seems a likely candidate for her murderer, but one by one they are ruled out. Gytha Lodge has a deft touch with her characters. They are original and a very modern group of people, representative of life today.The twist at the end is unexpected, but completely believable. I am sure you will cry out, 'Of course that was who it was!'. This is an easy read, completely drawing you in to the action and at this time a very welcome way of passing a few hours away in escapist retreat.
