A Tidy Ending: The latest dark comedy from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Profiling the men and women who have eschewed religious dogma in favour of a belief in “the lives and experiences of people here on Earth”, she takes us from the 14th to the 20th centuries, through the writings of Petrarch, Erasmus, Charles Darwin and Bertrand Russell in a wide-ranging and highly engaging work.

Linda is a character that at times you like and at other times you want to shake her and I think when you experience those feeling towards characters the author has done an exceptional job in writing the book. Linda lives a quiet (if unfulfilling) life with her husband, Terry, in a peaceful town—until young women start to go missing. The remainder of the book is written in the “now”, when someone is writing from a mental institution. When another girl goes missing in the area in which she lives the whole neighbourhood gets caught up in the drama and a net of suspicion is cast.Lynda is a very observant and peculiar person, she has certain standards and always displays the perfect mannerisms around people. A Little Luck is the story about the debilitating weight of lies, the messy line between bravery and cowardice, and the tragedies, big and small, that can ripple out from a single decisive event.

A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon is a book that had me very intrigued and I must admit I wasn’t sure where the storyline was going.

But that seems fairly normal—until he starts keeping odd hours at work, at around the same time young women start to go missing.

She worked as a hospital doctor before specialising in psychiatry, and lives in the Peak District with her family and her dog. If you enjoyed the life descriptions of Eleanor Oliphant, then it’s a good bet you’ll devour this book, too.At the same time, she tracks down the former resident of her house and befriends her, a little too closely. The story is written in the first person perspective of Linda and comes from two timelines – Now' and what I suppose is 'Then'.
