Wow. This book.

Talk about an unreliable narrator!

I loved Jessica. I loved how when I got to the end of part one, I could have happily put the book down. But that second half? It blew my mind.

Now, I love Christmas. And I love crime. But I've never really read a good mix of the two, despite a year-on-year search. That was until I picked up this gem. Honestly? I didn't even read the blurb. If I had though, I would still have picked it up, because this book is right up my street. I only picked it up because of the mix of genres and the stunning cover.

This is a book that makes you stop and think. It messes with your head. As much as Dominic messes with Jessica in the first half of the book, Tammy Cohen messes with yours all through the second half. And it's brilliant.

I'd love to read more about Kim - she might not have been the main character, but I love, love, LOVED her story and really want to know how it all ended for her.

This isn't a book about the warm, fuzzy Christmas feels. But it is still a book about family and relationships and how they are particularly poignant and tense during the festive season.
