Left hanging after each chapter
Really enjoyed this book. The ending was a total surprise. But I still could not work out the parentage of both boys. Real cliff hanger. Brilliant storyteller.

The Invisible Ones by Stef Penney
This isn't a book that can be rushed through, but a book to slowly savor. Told in alternate chapters by two different narrators, one is a gypsy private detective hired to look for a missing person and the other is a thirteen year old boy who lives with the traveling gypsy family the girl had married in to.
As the book progresses layers are slowly peeled away and more is revealed about the girl, the gypsy culture and family and the narrators personalities and lives. The ending is a stunning reveal. Loved it! ARC provided by publisher.
