4.0

This was such a good thriller which made a quick, exciting read!  The book follows Sophie, who returns home to find her mum dead and her dad fighting for his life in hospital.  All is suspected to be a murder suicide but Sophie is convinced that her mother would not be capable of this.  

This book is great and really details how we may not know the people around us.  Although there are some flaws with the plot, and the book jumped around a lot, I did find that I wasn’t able to put it down.  We find a lot out about Sophie’s Mum and we see this come to life through a series of memoirs.  I enjoyed learning more about Sophie’s mums past and how she really wasn’t who everyone suspected her to be.

This book left me guessing throughout and I would recommend to everyone who loves a thriller.  I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
