Average Score:
Review: As you can see from the score most people in book club enjoyed this book. It was well written and good enough that several members of the group are considering reading other books by Robert Harris – which is as good an endorsement as I think you can get!
The twists were a good combination of slightly predictable and a complete shock which we thought was a good balance.
