Initial thoughts: I'm a bit conflicted on this one. The plot was brilliant, yet the story was boring in places. I got a bit confused sometimes. The characters were flat. A great mystery/thriller in an awesome setting and time period though!

I just loved making friends with the people in this book. The main characters, some I wanted to hug, some I wanted to make a nice cup of tea, sit and natter with. And two I wanted to be a mum to.

Retailers:

Now that I think about it, I’d like to have seen why exactly she left. I got the gist of it but with so many theories floating around it would’ve been great--coming from Annie herself--to know her motivations for leaving.
