Great story, slightly off narration
I loved this book. I found myself rooting for the main character despite her being super unlikeable. I quite liked the ending, although it did feel a bit rushed. I wish it had turned out differently!
Paul Panting's narration was fantastic. Charly Clive was good except she took pauses in strange places and rushed through in others - I found myself slowing down the book in order to allow for emphasis between what I imagine are separate paragraphs as it was so annoying. It is a shame as when her narration was in flow (towards the end of the book), it was a much nicer experience.

Brilliant up to chapter 18
I really enjoyed the pace of the story at the beginning. Although a controversial tale, I understood Grace’s character. However from chapter 18 the story went downhill. I disliked the ending, was not fitting of the story that had built up.

Dark and twisted at it's best
Frustrating as this could have been brilliant. I didn't like the ending at all, however the start and middle were brilliant.

Enjoyed until the end
V good overall. I would recommend to a friend. Wasn’t sure on final few chapters comparative to the first 75% of the book but I did enjoy it.

A Handbook of Sorts
Loved it. Crime did pay more or less. The twist very near the end was superb.
