The novel opens with the arrest of Tate Kinsella, the protagonist, who is accused of murder when a woman falls to her death from a London bank's twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace.

As a single, out-of-work actor temping at the bank, Tate vehemently claims her innocence but possesses hidden knowledge.

This gripping thriller delves into obsession, intrigue, and revenge, with a captivating plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Exploring the secrets people keep and their underlying motivations, the inciting incident sets off a chain of events that will forever alter Tate's life.

This twisty legal thriller begins with well-developed characters, enveloping the reader in suspense, guesswork, and a dark and compelling storyline.

While it bravely tackles themes of trauma and grim subject matter, there comes a point in the narrative where the pace slows and the outcome becomes somewhat predictable and disconnected.

Nevertheless, it offers an engaging and original read, ideal for a captivating evening.

I loved this. A classic read in one sitting psychological thriller and that's absolutely what I did.

It is a clever plot - one we have seen versions of before but it is managed so well that it is very hard to stop reading once you start, addictive with engaging characters.

It's a matter of perspective, as things unfold you reasses what has come before and the ending is hugely satisfying.

Overall a most excellent read.
