Lizzie is a librarian, supposed to be quite meek and mild, the sort of person who might be embarrassed to admit they met their husband on an online dating site. Zach was an artist with a troubling background he was seeking to put behind him with this marriage, a chance to start afresh. Together, people thought they made a sweet couple. But as the old saying goes, you never know what goes on behind closed doors. In some stories you say the characters grow over the length of the novel, but I don’t think that happens here. Lizzie changes but it’s more that her true colours start to show as the truth surfaces. She’s not changed, but the way people look at her has.
I had little clue what was going to happen in this book. It wasn’t confusing, but the plot was carefully unwound with secrets released bit by bit so you never got the impression you’d unearthed the whole story quite yet. I picked this book up based on who the author was, and didn’t really know an outline of the story until I started the first page. I enjoyed Sabine Durrant’s early books but I really adored last year’s [[Under Your Skin by Sabine Durrant|Under Your Skin]] so I knew I was bound to like this one, and I did, though more than a couple of times I had to remind myself I wasn’t reading an [[:Category:Emily BarrEmily Barr|Emily Barr]] as the intricate storyline, plus the geographical locations, kept making me think of her books.
This is a fab whodunit I would heartily recommend. It’s a proper story to get your teeth into and one I will want to re-read in a few months to see if I can pick up any more clues along the way now I know how it ends.
