Summary

'I was glued to my Kindle at 3.30am…. My heart almost exploded… A gripping read from start to finish… I haven’t been gripped so much by a book since S.J. Watson’s “Before I go to Sleep” and Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl”…. An absolute MUST READ' ***** 5 star reader review

KEEPING THIS SECRET WAS KILLING HER…

Sue Jackson has the perfect family. But when her teenage daughter Charlotte deliberately steps in front of a bus and ends up in a coma, she is forced to face a very dark reality.

Retracing her daughter’s steps, she finds a horrifying entry in Charlotte’s diary and is forced to head deep into her daughter's private world. In her hunt for evidence, Sue begins to mistrust everyone close to Charlotte, but is soon forced to look further – even into the depths of her own past.

Sue will do anything to protect her daughter. But what if she is the reason that Charlotte is in danger?

A gripping psychological thriller about the deadly secrets your children can keep, perfect for fans of M. W. Craven, Lisa Jewell, and Clare Mackintosh.

Story line was drawn out and ultimately predictable. Hard to get into. Big fan of the author but this one is not great
