This is the tale of Linda, her uninspiring husband and her beige life. Except there's actually an awful lot going on under the surface of her daily chores, the endless hoovering and cleaning of her house on a nondescript estate. For a start, a local murderer is on the loose. Then there's Linda's mother and the backstory she and Linda are trying ever so hard to leave behind. And just what is Terry, Linda's husband, up to for those long hours when he's not at home?
There are plenty of mysteries already brewing, but then Linda decides to create a few more, when her curiosity about her house's previous occupant gets the better of her.
The language and the wry humour in this book are brilliant; pure joy. But then Cannon really goes to work on the plot and creates a very Tidy (but also rather twisty) Ending. As Linda would say, things are not always what they seem.
