Thank you NetGalley for this pre-published version.
It was an enjoyable read and reminded me of so many old (pre 1960s) movies I used to watch; suspense psychological thriller. I don’t have much to say about the characters, they just are. I didn’t go in with any expectations except the hope to enjoy it and that was met. While others might see the twist at the end with the husband, I didn’t. The story kept me reading to the finish.

While I understand that there will always be differences between books and shows, I didn’t realise the differences would be so huge. The only thing the tv show has in common with the book is the main character’s name and her profession. That’s it.
I almost got a Kay Scapetta (spelling??) vibe when I read this. I read this for a reading prompt and because I liked the tv show Bones. This would have been a 3 star because the writing was fine and the characters were okay, but it just isn’t for me.
However, the use of the ‘c’ word is an automatic 1 star loss because it always throws me out of the story; without fail. Before anyone thinks I’m being precious, I’m Australian and the word is frequently used. I still hate it.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this. This review is for an uncorrected proof. I have been waiting years for this book after reading a snippet of a work in progress on the author’s website. This is a light hearted, whimsical story and one should not expect any deep and meaningfuls. This is escapism, pure and simple. Because I had that view in mind, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This review is for the audiobook version. I took a chance on this and glad I did. I enjoyed it more that I thought I would and am looking forward to the next book.

Not really spooky/scary but still a good read. Bit of a tear jerker for me in spots but I had more sympathy for the ghosts in this story than I did in The Flip. I hope there will be more in this series as I like the setting and the recurring characters.

I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I always love guessing ‘who dunnit’, whether I guess correctly or not.

A short quick read that, for me the emotional wreck I am, was a tear-jerker. But, then they all have been so far and I'm guessing the rest will be as well. Armed with that knowledge and a box of tissues, on to the next.

Another enjoyable read in the series. I loved grandpa the most but did enjoy all characters and the story; tissues and all.

I've never read the books or watched the show they refer to but I'm like any other woman and sighs dreamily offer a good looking Scot in a kilt. With each of these books so far, I've cried and laughed. I'm enjoying this series.

Not the ending I was expecting but good all the same. I think I need to take out shares in a tissue company. Anyway, another good read in the series.
