 BE PREPARED TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD FOR THIS ADDICTIVE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING THRILLER - WITH A TWIST THAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE COMING.

'A jaw dropping last line twist' Lisa Jewell, #1 bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

'Impossible to put down' Independent

'Will grasp you unapologetically from the first page to the last.' READER REVIEW

Sadie loves her daughter and will do anything to keep her safe.

She can't tell her why they had to leave home so quickly - or why Robin's father won't be coming with them to London.

She can't tell her why she hates being back in her dead mother's house, with its ivy-covered walls and its poisonous memories.

And she can't tell her the truth about the school Robin's set to start at - a school that doesn't welcome newcomers.

Sadie just wants to get their lives back on track.

But even lies with the best intentions can have deadly consequences...

I had high expectations after blood orange (which I devoured and gave 5 stars). This one didn't quite hit the mark for me. The main character seems too weak to be a barrister. The storyline involving the posh mothers at school was bit much for me. Some of it seemed pretty over the top and hard to believe a professional such as a barrister would let people run all over her like that. The story line involving the estranged husband took a long while to be explained and felt like it needed more back story? Parts of the book seemed quite odd and a bit too convenient. An ok read. I like the writing style. The narrator did a reasonable job.

Enjoyable enough
