I really enjoyed The Favour. I was gripped very quickly and my interest was held throughout as the full story unfolded.

Moving through a period of about 10 years, we see the characters change and mature under the shadow of the incidents that happened when they were teenagers.

I know it’s a cliche to say that I couldn’t put it down, but the fact that I read it until past midnight 2 nights running is testament to how much I was enjoying it. I didn’t see the final twist coming, which is unusual for me. I could feel my heart start to best faster as in the last few pages it became evident I’d got it all wrong! Wonderful!

This is exactly the sort of book you hope you’ll chose before a long train journey. You’d start reading it in London and the next time you looked up you’d be in Aberdeen!
