I enjoyed this, I haven't read any Dorothy Koomson for a while but I wasn't disappointed, I kept wanting to turn the page to find out what happens, which is always a good indication I think. A little confusing and disjointed at the start as it is told alternately from Nell's and Macy's point of view switching from the present to the past but once I was into it, I was away. Each little clue to what happened to the "Brighton Mermaid" are revealed by each one of the sisters drip by drip. It kept my attention, could be dramatised well for TV I think.
