BACK OF THE BOOK
My mother is dead. I think I killed her.
Growing up, I tried to fit into my mother, Suzannah’s, new picture-perfect family when she married Glenn. But I couldn’t compete with my new stepsister Zara with her bright blue eyes and angelic blonde curls. As soon as possible, I left to live the life of my dreams on the other side of the world. I’d wanted to start afresh. Away from all the mistakes of my past…
But now I’ve returned home to repair my burned bridges. I’d hoped maybe we could finally become the perfect family my mother always dreamed of. Instead, I wake to a nightmare.
My mother has been found dead after an accident. And I can’t remember where I was last night. But I’m covered in bruises and have hazy memories of a terrible scream… We’d had our problems, but I would never have hurt her. Would I?
When I come face to face with my stepfamily for the first time in over a year I realise once thing for certain: it wasn’t just an “accident”. Someone wanted her dead. But why, and who could have gone this far?
Whatever the answer I won’t stop until I discover the truth. Because I can’t trust a single person in this family of mine. All I know is that each of us has a secret. Every one of us is a suspect. Even me…
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists that will keep you glued to your Kindle until late into the night. Perfect for fans of Behind Closed Doors, The Perfect Marriage and anything by Gillian Flynn, Claire McGowan or Nicola Sanders.
REVIEW:
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Melanie’s previous book I knew to expect another great psychological thriller. The story starts with Emily waking up and getting a message to say her mum is dead, but Emily is struggling to remember much from the night before and worries she may have been involved somehow.
The book introduces us to the other people in Emilys life and the question becomes what happened and who was involved.
I think Melanie writes brilliant psychological thrillers that bring twists throughout the chapters that keep you reading right to the end.
