vermilionazure 's review for:
The Heights
by Louise Candlish
Model student Lucas Gordon is made the buddy for new starter, and troubled youngster, Kieren Watts. The friendship they strike up troubles Lucas’ mother Ellen Saint. He’s leading her perfect son astray, and then when the worst happens and Lucas ends up dead she lays the blame firmly with Kieren. She’s desperate for revenge.
I enjoyed this book, it’s the first I’ve read by Louise Candlish, with an original story. The first part is, for the most part, narrated by Ellen Saint. Then it switches to Vic Gordon, Lucas’ father. This change of narration came at a time when I found the story was beginning to drag a little and reinvigorated the tale. It brought a fresh perspective and threw a new light on the story. It switched between the two later on. It’s a well plotted novel that I would recommend.
