I always enjoy a psychological
thriller and this was no exception. Sue
Jackson’s fifteen year old daughter, Charlotte, is in a coma. She has been knocked down by a bus. Everyone believes it was an accident, except
Sue who has read an entry in her daughter’s diary that makes her think otherwise. Sue’s husband Brian is increasingly worried about
his wife’s paranoia and tries to convince Sue that what happened to Charlotte was
an accident. Sue grows increasingly
suspicious of those around her, including Brian and Charlotte’s friends. In trying to find out what really happened to
Charlotte Sue is forced to confront the secrets of her own past and the abusive
relationship she was involved in twenty years ago. The chapters alternate between the present
day and Sue’s past, which is written in diary form. It was a gripping read and I can’t wait to
read the author’s next novel due out in April.
