This is my reading group’s book of the month. It’s an easy and very enjoyable read which has some odd features including synaethesia and a spate of murders from protagonist Annie’s childhood. There is a slightly unsettling air to the book which sits uncomfortably next to the humorous episodes.

I kept reading to find out the solution to the murder puzzle. I had guessed one part of the solution but not the other. Anyway, years later when Annie is revisiting the past, it turns out that who dunnit is less important than Annie’s future.
