I loved Robyn's story, she was an interesting character that you felt for and wanted her to get her revenge. Kez on the other hand was very annoying and unlikeable after a while.
This started off very strong, then I felt it slowed down and lost its momentum but the ending was good and had a few surprises that I didnt see coming.
Overall this is an enjoyable read

This story is told from the points of view of two protagonists - Kez, a psychological profiler stuck working in a decidedly shady government-adjacent intelligence agency, and Robyn, a survivor of terrible domestic violence that saw her witness the death of her mother at a young age.

Now they are on opposite sides of the fence. Robyn seems determined to hunt down and take revenge on her violent father, who is in witness protection, no matter how many people she has to hurt in order to get the necessary information about his location and current identity. Kez wants to stop Robyn before she gets herself killed by law enforcement.

This is a fantastic read with many twists. My only complaint is some lack of tying up loose ends with regard to two characters - Kez's friend Brian and the full story of whatever happened with her stepson. But the rest of the book more than made up for it.

Dorothy Koomson has long ago established herself as one of my autoread writers, and this latest novel sees her at the height of her powers. It is hands down a five-star read.
