The opening line in the book,. “By the end of next summer, before the kids go back to school, I will kill my family”. This got me excited to read this book and I just couldn't wait to get started. But as the story progressed I just couldn't connect with it and excitement I had just vanished.

The story is that of Des and his love for his wife Jenny and their kids, Maeve, Mikey and Joey. Narrated across two timelines, it follows how Des and Jenny met and how their relationship is at the present.

The plot has all the makings of a great thriller by covering the topics of obsession and jealousy, but where it falls flat is at the narration. It is one dimensional with only Des's perspective. It would have been more interesting for me if Jenny's perspective would have also been included.

Thank You to NetGalley and Penguin Books (UK) for this ARC! (
