I always believe women, it’s just my go-to response. This novel shows the devastating inequities of health care when it comes to actually listening and believing women and the medical treatment of women spun into a rather complicated mystery with strong gothic tone and twists. Starting out, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the read and it suddenly picked up and I was satisfied at the end.

Believe Me
by Dreda Say Mitchell; Ryan Carter
I started out thinking the book was slow. It picked up and became more confusing as it did. I did complete it but was left less than feeling I just should have been taking notes.

I really could not get on with this book. I found it very confusing at times. I persevered and read it to the end but it really was not that enjoyable.I think the author over-complicated it.

Gabby is a lawyer working on a property dispute case, and finds her mother's name on the title deeds. She knows her late mother could not possibly have owned the property and sets out to unravel this mystery.
Her mother died at the age of forty, of an undiagnosed mystery illness, and Gabby is about to turn forty and has the same symptoms.
Her sister has a make up range that she mixes herself, and her brother has distanced himself from the family.
All three of the siblings have tried to distance themselves from a toxic and cruel father.

Ocean House seems to be entwined with her family, her brother in law buys it, and she finds her brothers name carved into the wood.

A body is found buried, and Gabby becomes involved with the detective working on the case, and it turns out he too has connections to the house.

I enjoyed this mysterious and convoluted book, but did guess the cause of some of the deaths. However, there are quite a few twists and turns and the book is well worth reading.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
It started out well, I really felt for Gabby; what a horrible father, and I wasn't impressed with her sister either. Some things didn't seem to make sense though later in the book and that got me confused.
I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that women are often treated like half wits by doctors, Her poor mother!
On the whole I enjoyed this book, despite my confusion.
