My favourite author, I cannot get enough of her books. They are all so different apart from the suspense, murder and trying to work out who did it. This started with a woman writing a Dear Debbie column in a paper, where she does try to give good advice and never says what she would really like to. Her life is unravelling. Is it payback time for all the wrongs that have been done to her? This will keep you reading all night; it’s very hard to put down once you start. Another book I highly recommend.
