I really enjoy Tony Parsons' books as they have always excited me, kept me on tenterhooks and had me reading long into the night. Unfortunately, Who She Was, for me, is nowhere near on a par with his previous books which I am upset about. It pains me to say this but I found the story boring, the plot tedious, the characters totally unlikeable or memorable and the twists just meh! This is my opinion only and I've seen lots of reviews that rate this highly so don't take my word for it.
