review 1: I've got a bit of a weird relationship with Sophie Hannah books. I love mysteries and I love crime stories, I gobble them up within a day and move onto the next one, and there's no shortage of them waiting for me. I've read a couple of her books and wasn't overly impressed but th...

review 1: A very good read, there are not many books that keep me guessing who did what till so late in the story. I found Nikki's character very interesting. I would have liked more exploration on her backstory, her relationship with her brother and parents and I think reading about the f...

review 1: This book was just ok. I would have given it three stars, because I truly did like it until about the last 50 pages. I've gotten so used to Hannah's out-of-left-field plot twists that I was left completely unphased by the one in this book. I was disappointed that my own theori...

review 1: The premise of this book was interesting but it was a little confusing. Was the idea of the book to punish a working mother because she complained? Did the author want to show showing motherhood and mothers as good or bad? I couldn't tell where the author stood - maybe that was t...

review 1: This book was hard to get through. I didn't really care for any of the characters, unfortunately, because they were all unlikeable. The two protagonists don't really seem to like each other even though they are engaged to be married. Not once, in my opinion, did they show any sor...

review 1: As a fan of Hannah's books I was really looking forward to reading this and it did not disappoint too much. Lasting Damage has a very promising plot that is full of intrigue and suspense. It starts with Connie seeing a dead body on a estate agents website and then it disappears w...

review 1: I've previously read 2 books by Sophie Hannah that I quite enjoyed. This one however I found quite bad. The story sounded interesting, but the book spends way, way too long on the inter-relationships of the policemen, and Fliss is a truly awful character. She's a wet blanket, ...

review 1: A creepy thriller/mystery. I don't usually read mysteries b/c by the time the end is revealed I can't keep track of everything that makes it all make sense. But this book sounded good and really held my interest in the first half. Then by then end I couldn't keep it straight. The...

review 1: I am sorry to say I gave up on this book - something I rarely do. By page 93 I could not feel involved in any of the characters or the story line - neither Ruth or Alden, nor police Charlie and Simon. The abbreviation of Charlie's name irritated me, as I kept thinking it was a ...

review 1: I enjoyed this book far more than I expected to after the handful of reviews I skimmed through before reading it. A few people have complained about how nasty the characters are to each other, but that was one of the things I found refreshing about it: the characters weren't all ...

review 1: Started this book with high hopes...it seemed well written, with interesting characters: that is until the plot began to twist and turn and become so convoluted that it was not remotely believable. Kit is unbalanced to the point of utter lunacy , while his wife has her own issue...

review 1: Lots and lots of different people narrating this story... a little confusing at times if you've forgotten where you left off. This story was pretty slow going in the beginning, but in the last 150 pages or so, picked up steam as the multiple stories lines started to converge into...

review 1: Various mothers are claiming their babies died of SIDS, but Dr. Duffy disagrees. Especially when there are multiple SIDS cases in one family. A film director goes about trying to attack Dr. Duffy, in order to get the women free, and hopefully do a documentary on the cases. How...

review 1: So, I was sceptical of all the poor reviews. I mean, don't people rave about Sophie Hannah? Whilst I wouldn't describe this book as awful, it was Not. Good. Fliss Benson, the only first person narrator, is annoying, drippy, and generally pathetic, not to mention self-centred. The...

review 1: I've recently stumbled on this author after reading "The Wrong Mother" and a few others from the series. Her books are "quick-reads" and remind me of the English (as in England) version of Law & Order:SVU with each story much like a single episode of SVU. They usually are satisfy...

review 1: although I enjoy Sophie Hannah's books very much, this one was not up to the level of the previous ones I have read. The character development was a bit flat in my opinion. A woman, Louise, is being haunted. She continuously hears music when she is sleeping. Sometimes it's the n...
