"She thought she knew her father. But what she doesn't know could fill a morgue . . . Ex-MI5 agent Chrissy Livingstone grieves over her dad's sudden death. While she cleans out his old things, she discovers something she can't explain: seven photos of schoolboys with the year 1987 stamped on the back. Unable to turn off her desire for the truth, she hunts down the boys in the photos only to find out that three of the seven have committed suicide . . . Tracing the clues from Surrey to Santa Monica, Chrissy unearths disturbing ties between her father's work as a financier and the victims. As each new connection raises more sinister questions about her family, she fears she should've left the secrets buried with the dead. Will Chrissy put the past to rest, or will the sins of the father destroy her?"--Back cover.

Unrealistic, illogical, frustrating, and sometimes infuriating when all three of these adjectives apply to parts of this book. The main character‘s relationship with her husband is unbelievably gushing and perfect, even when he learns she cavorts about the globe taking vacations alone in houses she secretly owns. The “mystery” is the only saving grace, hence the 1-1/2 stars, but the twist at the end defies logic. What a huge waste of time.

Creadnorthey I was reading this and looking for a review to get a reality check- how can something this bad be published? Thanks for the honest report- I won‘t waste my time. 5y
Texreader @Creadnorthey Oh good it wasn‘t just me. It feels like it had to have been self-published with no intervening hand to say “just no.” 5y

This debut novel is full of illogical (see highlight above) and too perfect (the MC has a perfect husband and teenage boys) scenarios. That someone looks stunning on the day of her father‘s funeral seems completely irrelevant The chapter continues similarly-her husband “handsome as ever”. I would have bailed into chapter 1 except I need an easy read for my insomnia. Unless it makes a major change for the better, I can‘t recommend it.
