Publisher's summary

A chilling psychological thriller by the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Silent Child.

Who really killed Maisie Earnshaw?

Within the walls of the high-security psychiatric facility Crowmont Hospital reside many violent offenders. To nurse Leah Smith, no matter what, all offenders are patients first and foremost. When Leah is appointed as nurse to Isabel Fielding, she is determined to remain professional despite the shocking crime Isabel allegedly committed in her past.

Seven years ago, six-year-old Maisie Earnshaw was found facedown in a duck pond, her body mutilated. Isabel - at age 14, found covered in Maisie's blood - was convicted of murder.

As Leah spends time with Isabel, she comes to know her as a young woman with a sweet, gentle nature, someone she could never see as a murderer. Leah begins to suspect members of the Fielding family of framing Isabel as a young girl, and she's not the only one. True crime blogger James Gorden thinks Isabel is innocent, too.

But is Leah letting her own dark past taint her judgment as she grows closer to her patient? Or has a young woman been unjustly robbed of her childhood?

1 story in three dramatically different parts

This story is really three stories. The first is slow going and easy. You meet a woman working on a difficult problem. Quiet and determined. Then the story takes dramatic turns. First terrible darkness. Next a thrilling ride. Each story done quite well. Have fun.

Predictable

If it weren’t for the warm British accent I would’ve had a hard time finishing this story it was so predictable

Unexpected SPIN!!

This was another one of those books that I couldn't put down or stop listening to, which I've had quite a lot of here lately, but it started out good and then just got sooo much better. such a thriller!! in the middle of the book it had a twist that I honestly did not expect AT ALL!!

Thank you, Sarah A. Denzil for writing this book. It was fantastic. Cannot wait to read a couple others of yours now,

What a ride

This book, although a bit repetitive, was certainly interesting. Has a trigger moment plot twist about half way through. It wasn't overly unexpected, but some readers might be uncomfortable with it. You never quite knew what to expect with this story and the the relationship between Leah and Isabel. Isabel's obsession with birds gave the story some interesting twists. Although there weren't any real likable characters for me, it didn't take away from the story. Definitely some characters with real mental issues. I will read the next one just to see what happens.

Bloody hell! Brilliant emotional shocker!

“I didn’t kill her. Shhhhh” still reverberates in my mind... As always, a favorite narrator of mine, Jasmine Blackborow, reveals why she is perfectly chosen to present “One for Sorrow.” Author Sarah A. Denzil creates an emotional rollercoaster ride, bringing me to the top, then rapid twists and turns that took my breath away. Tears were shed! Jaws were dropped! I will be looking for more by these two exquisitely talented women. Shocking and unexpected secrets and subplots kept my attention. I was awestruck by its immensely intense ending. So audictive, I found it hard to take a break. I bought this during an Audible sale for $5 and I am thrilled I did. I look forward to Book 2, “Two for Joy.” This one shoots up to the top in my vast Audible library. Well worth a credit! Psychological thriller, indeed! So highly recommended, I can’t see to the top. Epic, I say! EPIC, EPIC, EPIC!

Wonder twists.

This was my first audible book as well as my first book written by this author. Neither will be my last. Wonderfully narrated. Great story with many twists.
