Five years rebuilding your life. Five words
will destroy it again.
Mia Hamilton lived the perfect life with
her husband, university teacher Zach, and their two-year-old daughter. But
everything changed when Zach committed suicide on the same night one of his
students vanished.
Five years later, just when Mia is beginning to
heal, stranger Alison walks into her life, saying her husband didn’t
kill himself.
Fragile, slight Alison leads Mia on a path into
Zach’s past, and Mia begins to think she never really knew her own husband. As
the secrets revealed get darker, Alison becomes harder to read, and Mia starts
to wonder – why is Alison so keen to help?
And then a piece of the puzzle appears in an impossible place, and Mia has to
ask, is she losing her mind, or should she be afraid for her life?
Review:
Mia has moved on from the awful event that change her and her daughter’s
live. Zach is gone, betraying them both. But life is on the up. She has someone
who cares about her, someone she can trust. Freya is now 7 years old and
thriving.
Until Alison knocks on the door with claims that Zach didn’t kill
himself, which set Mia off onto a path of searching for the truth. This book
keep going and is a quick read once the story grips you. I really enjoyed the
timelines swap between Mia and Josie, it brought authenticity to the story.
There are a couple of unexpected turns and I must say I was surprised by
the ending which is fab as it’s far too often now that we guess the ending and
I certainly didn’t with this one.
Any fan of a psychological thriller will enjoy this book – give it a go.
Thank you to Netgalley for this book.
