3.5 stars


At times this felt like the slowest of slow burns, would anything happen apart from domestic problems?
The answer is yes, and it's well worth hanging around for.
All sorts of foul play and lies and bad deeds kick in, all narrated by our loyal housemaid.

Some good characters to enjoy the ride with, and Harriet was the best of them all.
An enjoyable read.
