Hi, has anyone read this? Someone bought it for me a while ago but I've not not read it yet (I prefer to read on the Kindle). DD (13) has just found it in spare room and wants to read it this weekend when we go away. If you've read it, would you say it's suitable for a 13 year old? She's read teen crime/murder/thriller stuff a lot, I'm more concerned about sex/bad language. Thanks

It’s good book. I enjoyed it maybe fir a mature 14 year old?

The main character goes to a sex club a couple of times, although no sex takes place and I don't think there are any graphic descriptions of anything I would say 13 is probably a bit young.

No way. It’s got violent sex bdsm stuff in there

The audiobooks version is on BBC sounds, might be worth listening to while doing chores if you don't have time to read it. I don't remember any sex in it, just a women detailing to a prison friend how she killed her wealthy fathers family. Her mother had brought her up alone and died. I don't remember the actual deaths being too graphic/gruesome/ bloody either.

Depends what you describe as sex. Certainly not content I’d want a 13yo reading

@FoodFann does it, I must have forgotten that bit

Yea a guy gets strung up and murdered at a swingers club, so probably not

Ok, thanks all, definitely sounds like she's too young!

I think she's a little young. It's not gruesome but probably a bit too mature.
