Maddie and Harry, a couple who live in The Black Country. They are a couple who have problems. On the way home one night, an argument leads to a car accident, leaving the couple thinking they have killed someone.

This book I found unusual. The story follows Harry and Maddie but told by a narrator. No chapters in a short book less than two hundred pages, but for me felt longer.

Set in The Black Country, which is where I am from and live, with a few places I recognise instantly like Merry Hill, Stourbridge, Birmingham and its BT tower. Just want to say at this point The Black Country has a lot to offer and isn't grim.

To say anything about this book at all would give a lot away and reading the blurb on the back of the book does give away alot. What I will say is that the story is dark. I found the book at times uncomfortable with part of the story. What the story did have was that certain something that makes a reader want to continue to find out what is going to happen. For me I was waiting for that big reveal at the end, which did happen but I had to double check, did I really just read that.

I liked this book in parts, the rest I felt uncomfortable and some parts just totally confused. I would read the authors other work also set in The Black Country.… (más)
