Publisher's summary

Three troubled women. One deadly secret.

Lissy and her daughter, Rosie, live a quiet life in Yorkshire. However, when events at Rosie’s school come to light, their peaceful existence is shattered.

Meanwhile, middle-aged women Erica and Beverley appear to have perfect lives, but behind closed doors, things are not as they seem.

All three women are tied together by a dark past that goes back to their school days. A child was murdered, and one of the women is to blame. But is the person responsible for the child’s death the same person who was blamed for it all those years ago?

As secrets from their past begin to surface, it becomes clear that someone has revenge in their sights....

Blown Away. incredible Writing.

This is the first book of hers I've read, and I'm glad I picked it. Wow. The writing is superb, and the characters well-fluffed out from a couple different points of view. I found myself re-reading a few chapters to make sure I was on the right track of the story. It's very smart, page by page. I was slightly disappointed by not knowing the ending of one character. But it was minor compared to the rest of this awesome and super-psyche-shifting thriller.

The narration was stellar

The story was decent although I lost thread of the characters a couple times and had to back up and listen again.
The narrator did an excellent job with the different voices and really made them come to life
I did find the Lissy character a bit of a wimp and kept yelling at her to get a backbone

Shallow and annoying

Blech. I didn't like the characters. The plot was flimsy, and I found it impossible to sink my teeth into the story. The narrator was terrible - borderline obnoxious. Three chapters left and I gave up.
