Good Read

4 stars

This was, as usual, a riveting read, equivalent to a typical Agatha Christie for surprises at the big reveal. Interesting that the first person thanked in the Acknowledgements is the author's therapist. Author says it was an uncomfortable book to write and this reader guesses that the plural adopted sons in the story might be related to one of the issues worked through.
