Oh man, Liane Moriarty is beginning to be one of my favorite authors! I loved this mystery about a secret one man kept from everyone and of a young girl that who's murderer was never found. This twisted tale was a huge web that wove these characters together until one day the aftermath of this secret almost took more lives. A true definition of a chain reaction!



Really enjoying the whole series, Bryant & May have really grown on me as have the whole cast of supporting characters and I love how so much London history/folklore makes it's way into the books.



This is not so much a "who done it" as it is a "will they get away with it", but it's engaging and entertaining and gets 3.5 stars from me. I don't read many mysteries and I was surprised to find the dialogue among the three sisters to be the best-executed aspect of the book. I applauded these three proto-feminists from the nineteen teens and their determination to choose the circumstances of their own lives. This is fiction based on real people and, for the most part, real events.
