About this deal

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). All the tiny details, all the quiet, unnoticed edges of the world have been taken away, and it’s only when they’re gone you realize how much you depended on them to make sense of everything else. If only Linda could become friends with this Rebecca, she’d stop worrying so much about what Terry might be up to. I am looking forward to reading more books by Joanna Cannon and am so glad I took a chance on this one. It was the same when I reported the suspicious man in Boots, and when I asked them to check on a strange car parked up on the high street.

She is too sure of herself and her capability to judge people and situations, but it is very clear to us that she always jumps to the wrong conclusions. Adapted from a short story and inspired by the voice of audiobook reader Lissa Berry, A Tidy Ending is a character driven cozy mystery with an edge that will have you questioning everything. I really enjoyed this book, the writing is superb (see notes for some examples), and the author’s way with words captured me (Joanna Cannon - get OUT of my head! Linda's husband Terry isn't perfect - he picks his teeth, tracks dirt through the house, and spends most of his time in front of the tv.This was good on audio, as the awful, insipid, and completely unlikable characters were bought to life and were in my face, even more so! This deliciously dark-ish, quirky story brilliantly comes together in a way that I never saw coming. It lives on the mantelpiece, with a carriage clock and a pair of candlesticks that will never find themselves being introduced to any candles. After The Hammets move houses, Linda becomes fixated on the previous tennant, Rebecca Finch, after receiving her mail. I really enjoyed everything in this book, except how exaggerated the main character’s cluelessness was.

Even if people are pressed a bit harder, they will still find it difficult to dredge up a little anecdote, to pull some distant memory from the back of their minds to single me out. Who are the people who are seeing the world how it really is and who are the people that are mistaken?But that seems fairly standard – until he starts keeping odd hours at work, at around the same time young women start to go missing in the neighbourhood. I don’t want to say too much about the plot because the beauty of this story is watching it slowly unfold.
