review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was engrossed from the outset. It reminded me a little of 'Eloise' by Judy Finnegan that I read a month or two back (based in Cornwall, a friend believing she was being haunted by her dead best friend, secrets etc), however, this book is far sup...

review 1: Hated it. One of the most boring books i've ever read. Girl falls in love with man, girl goes to live with man. Girl gets suspicious about the fact man's wife had gone, girl thinks man killed wife. It sounds good, but trust me it's not. It's very long winded with lots of boring d...

review 1: This book is a definite page turner which had me gripped all the way through. Three stars may seem miserly for a book I thoroughly enjoyed; however, as my first Louise Douglas novel, I suspect there's better to come. As the book progressed I became more and more frustrated with t...

review 1: I liked this book, it just didn't blow me away. I liked the writing style and though it is a sad story, it is not a depressing read. I think I wanted more of a climax to the ending and felt like it was building to something which then didn't happen. I am not normally one for read...

review 1: This is the first book I've read by Louise and sad to say it did not leave me wanting more! Could not identify with the characters or their morals in the plot found it all s bit unrealistic, I only kept reading to understand how the two main characters Luca and Liv ended up toget...

review 1: I have just finished reading this book and it is the last of the four books that Louise has written and that I have read. It is also possibly my favourite in part because the main male character has the same job that I have, a surveyor. As with all of Louise's books the character...
