Three.
Three is the mystical number.
Omne trium perfectum.
Three blind mice. Three musketeers. The three bears.
Beginning, middle, and end.
Three, two, one… BOOM!
Consequences not of my making were nipping at my heels. Tick tock

My Thoughts
This is K.J McGillick’s debut book.
Art fraud, money laundering and identity theft feature in
this story as Emma Collier discovers her live-in boyfriend Jude has disappeared
and her own identity has been used to create a web of deceit.
Emma is a reactionary character in this book as things have
already taken place without her knowledge and the book takes us on her journey
of discovery about what really happened to Jude and why someone has been
framing her.
I liked the characters of Emma and Cillian but I wish they
were more relaxed, especially Emma. Often she comes across as robotic and
overly formal, and when she does act, it seems out of character. The love interest
between Emma and Cillian provides a good balance and I wish we knew more about
them before they come together in this book.
Aunt Mary is very funny and brings a lightness and comedic
relief to the book.
I enjoyed the plot and overall themes. You can tell much
research has gone into the story but the flow does get bogged down at times due
the volume of what I consider to be unnecessary detail and repetition.
Future books look intriguing and I am interested in reading
them.
