Summary

The instant top 10 best seller

Can you guess who killed Jamie Lawrence?

Late one night, three women share secrets.

They barely know each other, but they all know Jamie Lawrence. They know what he's guilty of. And they agree something must be done.

But as their plan spirals out of control, they begin to doubt themselves...and each other. Then Jamie is found dead. And suddenly everything is at stake. As lies are unravelled and truths exposed, two urgent questions emerge:

Who is really guilty?

And who will have to pay?

I really wanted to get into this book, but just could not get around  the narration. Sometimes it flowed and other times it just sounded like a teenager in class reading from a book  that they really don’t want to read. Will be returning book because of this.

Poor narration

A very relatable story. Twists and turns aplenty. I didn’t get the twist until seconds before it was revealed. I will look for more by this author and the narrator.

I only managed four chapters before I decided life is too short to waste time on this. The characters are annoying and the narrator isn't good enough.

Trite

I loved this book. The characters were believable and flawed and the story had me gripped from the beginning. One of the most interesting aspects were the blurred lines of right and wrong. When is something wrong to one person but may not be to another? Does the wrongdoing of one person make vengeance acceptable? The book has left me thinking things through long after I finished it. The narrator was also excellent.

Great read

Well, what to say. Not sure. Would I recommend, no. Sorry Piers. Nothing special and I should have paid more attention to other reviewers as to celebrity enhancement

Disappointed, Piers Morgan selling pitch
