I've just finished it and loved it. I really couldn't put it down and had to feign illness so I could escape the kids to read it! Can't wait for her next book.

That's good to know, I'm about a quarter of the way through and still not sure what I think of it ...

Finished! Very good book, would recommend it. I actually found myself catching my breath at the twist.

Great news, I have just bought it.

Yes celtic, I didn't see the twist coming either. But the thing I loved most about the book was the relationshop between the sisters. Made me wish I had a sister....! But not a dead one obviously.

Yes, read it by fire and candlelight on our last camping weekend of the year!

I really enjoyed it - I have RL friends who are two sisters who lost their brother to CF, so it was very poignant.

I do wish though that publishers wouldn't print the 'notes for reading groups' in the back of books. I can see how they might be useful, but wouldn't it be enough to say 'Notes for reading groups are available on the publisher's website www.blahdeblah.com?

(Obviously I do realise that I'm not obliged to read them!)

Yes I enjoyed it. Well written I thought and emotionally powerful at times.

I thought the denouement was a bit contrived but then I often feel the same about thrillers like this, it doesn't mean it's not good. It is. I've given it to dh to read next.
