DESCRIPTION:
Verity Baxter has lived - quietly, carefully - in Trinity Fields all her life. Then Ailsa and Tom Tilson move in next door and everything changes. Can Verity trust what she hears through the walls?
And what about the Tilsons: should they pity their eccentric neighbour and her messy house? Or should they fear her?
Either way, like the ivy that creeps through their shared garden fence, their lives are entwined now. And the knots can only get tighter . . .
MY REVIEW:
My introduction to Sabine Durrant, FINDERS KEEPERS promised an exciting story but it was so slow moving I gave up. I was thoroughly confused from the beginning to the point I had no idea who was narrating or what she was on about. I had managed to glean that the narrator was female, probably due to the premise outlining Ailsa and Verity as major contributors to the story. But I was thoroughly lost and despite reading that others had persevered with it till the plot developed into something better, I just got to the point where I didn't care anymore. I had no idea who was who and who did what...or why. And the chapters started in a confusing way with something like a shopping list and then the unpicking of a word and what it means.
Maybe I might revisit the book at a later date (when I have time) and give it another go...who knows? But at this point, I found the book to be far too slow and confusing to hold my interest.
I would like to thank #SabineDurrant, #Netgalley and #HodderAndStoughton for an ARC of #FindersKeepers in exchange for an honest review.
