Reviews
The main plot line takes place during a bank robbery and essentially the book takes us through the hours that the main character, Nora, is stuck in the bank. Interspersed with this plot are chapters detailing Nora's con-artist past. These short flashbacks allow us to slowly create a picture of Nora's backstory without being told outright all the trauma she had to deal with. The book is exciting and gripping but devastating. Sharpe manages to create a protagonist that I developed a soft spot for, even though she had done some morally questionable things in her past. Anyone who likes a cleverly crafted book should definitely read this.

An excellent read, fast paced and full of suspense. Set during a bank robbery but interspersed with flashbacks telling the stories of the three main characters. Nora, the main character, has survived so much prior to the bank robbery and the flashbacks are, at times, hard to read. You can’t help but want Nora to escape and lead the happy life she deserves. I would definitely recommend this book.
