Review
A woman falls to her death from the roof of a high-rise London bank. Was she pushed or did she jump? The evidence points towards it being murder but who would want her dead and why?
The Woman on the Ledge is the first Ruth Mancini book I've read. Whilst it was an entertaining read, I thought it was rather convoluted and contained too many coincidences to be convincing. There were plenty of plot twists but I couldn't connect with the main characters. It was difficult to know who was being truthful and who wasn't, which I suppose was the author's intension but in the end I didn't really care!
