ABOUT THE BOOK:

She lied to her daughter to save her family.
Everyone knows Leona would do anything for her daughter Beth: she moved to Church Langdon to send Beth to the best school, worked hard to build a successful business to support them and found them the perfect little cottage to call home. Leona and Beth hike together, shop together, share their hopes and fears with one another. People say they’re more like best friends than mother and daughter.

It’s the relationship every mother dreams of.
But their closeness means that Beth struggles to make friends. Her mother has kept her sheltered from the world. She’s more reliant on her mother’s love. More vulnerable.
When Beth finds an envelope hidden under the floorboards of their home, the contents make her heart stop. Everything she thought she knew about her mother is a lie. And she realises there is no one she can turn to for help.
What if you’ve been protected from strangers your whole life, but the one person you can’t trust is the person closest to home?
What She Saw is a gripping psychological thriller with an incredible twist that will make your jaw drop. If you love The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or anything by B. A. Paris you’ll be consumed by this.

MY REVIEW:
Goodness, this is a stunner of a book! It’s hard to believe that this very accomplished thriller is a debut novel.

I was absolutely engrossed in the book. Everything about it was so good.

The setting is wonderful, and so atmospheric, the Lake District. A magnificent backdrop for this tense and compelling story. There is real depth to the characters, and I felt immediately drawn into their lives.

The plot is rich and twisty, it will really keep you guessing, and the tension just builds and builds until the end.

This would make a wonderful gripping TV drama, it’s real edge of the seat stuff.

Highly recommended, a really addictive read.

MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
