A very interesting book which explores how different perspectives can lead to a different interpretation of a shared experience. The characters are fascinating and to see their relationships change through the life of the book is a big part of this book’s appeal. I found the pace at times slow but nevertheless recommended reading for people who like mysteries which bring strong focus on characterisation. ,
