Cox is on top form
As an avid fan of Jospehine Cox's novels I was looking forward to reading this book... I wasn't disappointed! Even though it's hard to decide which is her best book so far this one is a very strong candidate. Everything you could want in a novel is included in this book...murder, adoption jealousy anger passion and love to name just a few. This book details the lives of Robert Sullivan father of Jack and Nancy and how the consequences of one fatal night can lead to such tragic results. A truly captivating book by a wonderful author a must have for all Jo Cox's fans!

This book is very good. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. So many things going on. Never knowing what is going to happen next. Great read all the way to the end.
