My Review: Absolutley thrilling and well written, so glad I read this book, I was literally glued to the pages and finished in 3 sittings. The story is told from a variety of perspectives. Rachel is the centre of the drama after flying out of her bedroom window. Did she fall? Did she jump? Was she pushed? The way Karen has set the whole thing up is brilliant, so many twists and turns, you don’t really know who to trust or believe. It certainly rattles the foundations of the next door neighours with each other and within their family units. We mainly follow Vanessa’s viewpoint and get to know that of her partner Aaron with whom she shares 3 yr old Chloe and they raise their son’s (stepbrothers) Jacob and Lucas, that of Suzy who is Rachel’s mum and of course Rachel herself. Along with her dad and brother and a few other important people. I didn’t expect the ending at all, loved it!! 5 stars all the way.
My darling son is accused of attacking the girl next door. He would never do this… Would he?
I have the perfect family: my loving, devoted partner. Our sons, so thoughtful and affectionate despite their teenage angst. But everything changes when our friendly neighbours move in.
Their daughter Rachel is so pretty and bubbly. Her giggles float over our garden fence. I can see our boys are falling for her, fighting for her affection.
Then Rachel falls from her bedroom window. Her life is hanging in the balance. And to my horror, her parents think my son Jacob pushed her.
I know my sensitive son would never do such a thing, but he is hiding something. A mother always knows, doesn’t she? And who is spreading nasty rumours in our neighbourhood about me and my partner, about history repeating itself?
Then I find Rachel’s broken sunflower necklace in my home, and my world falls apart. It’s unbearable, but I must face the truth. Someone’s child is fighting for their life. And someone in my family hurt her.
With Rachel at death’s door, is Jacob in terrible danger too? And how far will I have to go to protect him?
A totally unputdownable and thrilling psychological suspense novel with a gasp-out-loud twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Clare Mackintosh and K.L. Slater.
