Linda lives a nice, normal life, on a nice, normal street with Terry, her perfectly ordinary husband.

Critic reviews

"Devastating, deceptive and darkly funny. Classic Cannon." (Sarah Winman)

‘A compellingly crafted, darkly funny and compulsive read, full of twists – and twists on twists – that keeps you guessing until the last page...a joy and a triumph." (Rachel Joyce)

"Compellingly creepy, with precisely observed characterisation, A Tidy Ending combines pathos with lovely ashes of humour and a wholly unexpected ending." (Guardian)

every character has a purpose in this fantastic book!

I highly recommend this book..the characters and their interactions throughout it are completely relatable, so I would have been entertained even if there were no plot... but there is a plot...and it unravels very cleverly all the way to the last sentence.
