I haven't read anything by Emma before but I was drawn by the blurb so requested a copy via NetGalley and was provided one by the publisher Random House UK, Cornerstone Digital in return for an unbiased review and I am thankful for that as I really enjoyed it.
The story starts with a mass shooting in the lobby of a hospital - this is chilling stuff especially given tragic events in past months. The story then goes back some days before and provides a background and insight into the leading characters including the killer whose identity is not divulged until almost the end. I think this was brave - setting out the ending at the beginning but then, isn't that what happens in real life? A horrific event occurs and we then go backwards and try to develop a timeline of events leading up to it?
I am aware that other readers have found the time-switching a little confusing but I loved the format and found it really helped to build the tension, introduce the characters and create the sub plots within the main story which were as absorbing as the main story itself. I admit that if you don't keep your wits about you, it's easy to get a little lost but, bear with it and just go with the flow.
The characters are interesting and believable with each having to carry their own baggage of problems whilst trying to carry on with their "normal" lives. This, I feel, is the major plus side to this novel - the complex characterisation and delving into the psyche of each person.
One negative - I didn't really get a sense of the location and although I'm aware the book is set in Swansea, there was nothing in the story that set it apart from any other city or town in the UK which I think was a little disappointing as I like to be transported to new, interesting or intriguing places when I read and this just didn't do it for me.
Overall though, I found this a riveting read and would recommend it to people who enjoy a great psychological thriller with great characters, sub-plots and red herrings which keep you not only enthralled with the story but guessing who the perpetrator is to the end.
