An OK read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2022

Verified Purchase

This novel starts with two dead bodies impaled on some railings in Edinburgh. We don't learn who they are or what happened to them until the end of the narrative. In between there's Sylvie's story.
Sylvie is a London-based barrister and district judge. She is set to advance in her career and she's embarked on a promising new relationship. However, as the novel proceeds Sylvie is forced to confront an event in her past, despite her reluctance to do so. The narrative mostly consists of Sylvie's inner dialogue, with occasional flashbacks to her youth spent in Scotland. Nothing really happens until the end when we discover the full details of Sylvie's past and the mystery of the bodies is solved.
Although I was sufficiently interested to keep reading until the end I found the novel thin on plot and ultimately quite bleak. It's OK as an easy read to pass the time but that's about it.

Unlikeable characters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2022

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed the author's first book, Blood Orange, didn't bother with the second having read the poor reviews. Bought this one on the basis of the good reviews on Amazon but I can't say I enjoyed it. The book is well crafted and well written but none of the characters is remotely likeable, so I didn't really care about what happened to them. Sylvie got on my nerves with her constant pandering to her friend and her need to please everyone, no idea how she managed to progress so well in her career. I found the plot rather far fetched. Disappointing.

Sorry Harriet - your time is up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2022

Verified Purchase

I have stuck with this author for three books now - but enough is enough. I thought 'Blood Orange' showed promise, though I didn't like it much, her second novel was okish though not very memorable -but this was so terrible I bailed halfway through and flipped to the ending which turned out to be melodramatic rubbish. None of the characters are remotely likeable - especially Sylvie - and I really didn't care about any of them enough to go on with the book. Very very poor indeed and I can see why it has been reduced to 99p. Even at that price it's not worth it - you would literally have to pay me to read it.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2022

Verified Purchase

Loved Blood Orange and was very excited to read this thriller. Well I was very disappointed- it wasn’t nearly as good.
I hated that description of the teenage years- it was depressing to read. I sincerely hope it not truly indicative of kids today. Or even 20 years ago.
All a bit contrived and repetitive.

Another great story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2022

Having thoroughly enjoyed Harriets previous novels, I asked myself, can she write another excellent novel? The answer is simple, yes she can.
I love the way the novel introduces the players and subsequent storyline. Lives are suddenly thrown into chaos as accusations are made. Harriet has a real knack of mixing business with pleasure. In this case she has truly succeeded.
Highly recommended.

What a phenomenal work, I read it in a day. Well done Harriet Tyce. I actually really liked Sylvie as a character, didn’t like Marcus or Tess though.

Hard to believe

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2022

Verified Purchase

Not very good I only read to the end in the hope that things would improve but sadly they didn’t. I felt this book had been written half-heartedly. There was the odd sex scene which the author did not seem to feel comfortable writing and therefore read as if they had been shoehorned in to tick a box with her publisher. None of the characters came off the page because they were poorly developed and a bit implausible. Sylvie’s character was created with little imagination, she was supposed to be on the path to becoming a circuit judge and it was hard to believe that anyone like her would have got as far as she had in her career. She was characterised as extremely weak, indecisive and easily distracted and as someone who turned to the bottle too often to sustain her nerves. Her friend Tess was equally unbelievable. How many women in the early 21st century give up their professions because they got married? I suspect not many and as a trope it belongs in the early to mid 20th century. For me none of the characters came off the page. The two male partners of Sylvie and Tess; Gareth and Marcus barely registered not even in the final plot climax And for me the ending was so trite and silly if I hadn’t been reading the book on my kindle I would have probably thrown it in the bin!

Well written but easy to guess the ending!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2022

As always Harriet Tyce has produced a well written book, with a story line that has a few shocking moments, thats one of the things i love most about her books, they can get really dark!
However, i did guess the ending as soon as one of the characters are introduced - i wont spoil it for you!
I enjoy Harriets books as they are always about lawyers and the court cases, i always find this so interesting and would love to have more details about cases in future books.
I did feel for Sylvie in her friendship with Tess for the majority of the story...
However, I never feel like Harriets aim in any of the books is for us to like the characters, so i wouldnt really put it as a negative.
To be honest i did struggle to get through this one, i didn't feel enagaged enough to keep reading constantly - unlike her other books.
