Synopsis

Decades ago, the disturbing disappearance of an eleven-year-old girl shook the tiny village Hannah grew up in. Now Hannah receives the shock of her life when she is told her sister, April, has committed suicide. Distraught, she returns to her childhood home for the funeral. But someone who refuses to forget the past has sickening shocks in store for the grieving family and soon latch onto Hannah instead, leaving her looking over her shoulder at every turn. Now the nightmares aren't only inside Hannah's head ... The close-knit community is rattled as devastating secrets and unspeakable truths are shaken up and it seems everyone has a secret to hide ... Hannah feels her grip on reality slipping as she starts to suspect even those closest to her - including her husband Will. April had uttered words of warning against him, but was it merely jealousy?

My Review

This was my first read by this author and I know for certain it will not be my last! Twisty and chilling this was a quick read for me as I could not put it down!

In this read we meet Hannah she is back in her hometown with her husband Will and their young daughter Eva.

They are all here for the funeral of Hannah's sister April who has committed suicide.

Yet when at the funeral village gossip and the defacing of the eulogy hints to April having involvement in the disappearance of a young girl, even though the girls father was arrested for her suspected murder, many in the village are not convinced of his guilt and some are ready to make Hannah pay for her sisters past.

Hannah struggles to find the truth in the lies around her even those from her own husband, in the end who can she really trust? and how well do we really know some one? even out own family.

this read was packed with suspense and characters who just all had this air is mysterious deviousness so you knew that there were secret bubbling away under the surface.

plenty of twists and turns and a thrilling climax have left me scrabbling for more books from this author, if your looking for a clever and twisty psychological thriller look to further this read hits all the right notes!
