3 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
Winner of the CWA Debut Dagger Award, an engaging psychological thriller of obsessive love They came for me, just like I knew they would. Luke had been dead for just three days. Rose Wilks’ life is shattered when her newborn baby Joel is admitted to intensive care. Alongside her is Emma Hatcher, who has just given birth to Luke. Joel dies and Luke is thriving, until tragedy strikes and Rose is the only suspect. Now, having spent nearly five years behind bars, Rose is just weeks away from freedom. Her probation officer Cate must decide whether Rose is remorseful for Luke’s death, or whether she remains a threat to society. As Cate is drawn in, she begins to doubt her own judgement. Where is the line between love and obsession, can justice be served and, if so, by what means?

I found this book to be very readable. I started reading it on a train journey and didn‘t put it down once! The characters were gritty and real, the plot was harrowing at times but still kept you interested. There were twists and turns and I enjoyed the book. I‘ve seen another post on here advising that this book is the first in a series so I‘ll keep an eye out for the others. The only down side I found was errors in the Kindle version.

I flew through this book, really engaging, based in Ipswich it focuses on Cate who is a parole office and Rose who is in prison. Good three dimensional characters that drew me in and I couldn't stop reading, wanting to know how it would all pan out. Pleased it's the first in a series as I will be reading the rest.
