This one was FAR less successful. At times I found myself shouting, “Just tell us what happened at the pool already!” And one of the “twists” was snort worthy. I am a fan of Candlish but this wasn‘t one of her better efforts.

It‘s not that I didn‘t like the quality of writing, that was very good. My issue with this book is the storyline or lines. This is my first book of hers chosen for our next book club. It left me feeling very flat and in need of a more cheerful next book
This was a good book but I‘m just not sure it completely delivered. The opening is so dramatic and frightening, that while the rest of the book was a good drama which kept me wondering what was going on, it just didn‘t quite add up. I‘ve read others by Candlish and will try more, but this just wasn‘t quite what I wanted. Plus, my own fault but it‘s a big hardback and I read most of it while lying in the garden so got arm ache 😂😂
Book club read this month... I'm not that keen so far although it's a simple read. I do like that there are flash backs but feel the build up is not going to be necessary. I wouldn't have chosen this without book club influence so am pleased to be pushed to read something different!
When your friends have a pool and they need you to stop by and clean it while they are away AND you happen to live in Texas. Yes please!!!! #oopsummer
