Description:
Wheeling my suitcase down the familiar, hedge-lined street, I smile at the sound of children playing in the park nearby. Suddenly, there’s a screech of car brakes. I rush over to see a bent bike wheel sticking out of the ditch, and underneath, a little boy…
As I turn the rusty key in the lock of the house I grew up in, memories flood back. None of them happy. I never told anyone why I left home twenty years ago, and all I want is to sort out Dad’s funeral as quickly as possible.
Now I’m trapped here, the only witness to a terrible incident that has left an eight-year-old boy fighting for his life. But after a lifetime trying to forget my past, I don’t know if I can trust my memory, or be totally sure of what I saw today.
Sorting through Dad’s things one night – shopping lists in his curly handwriting, piles of old newspapers, dusty sports trophies – I think I hear the back door handle rattle. I tiptoe downstairs, past an open window I’m sure I locked. And a figure darts across the overgrown garden.
Someone is watching me. Someone who knows I’m the only one who saw what happened to little Ethan… or could they know the real reason why I left? Either way, I’m certain that coming back was my biggest mistake. I can’t leave, but the longer I stay, the more danger I’m in…
An utterly addictive psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages until the early hours. Fans of The Girl on the Train and I Am Watching You won’t be able to put down the next mind-blowing read from bestselling author Kerry Wilkinson.
My Review:
This is a completely riveting book. It’s very hard to put down.
Abi is a really interesting and complex character. She’s shaped by her past, and by being from Elmwood. She tried to escape both her past, and the town, but it has drawn her back again.
It’s a real slow burner of a plot, and the tension just builds and builds. It’s real edge-of-the-seat stuff.
The dynamics between the residents of this small town are very interesting, their stories and lives intertwine. It’s a classic down on its luck town, with the resulting difficulties for the people who live there.
As Abi gets closer to discovering the truth the pace really ramps up. I was totally unable to put it down until I finished it by this stage.
A clever and complex plot, so compelling and gripping, really worth a read.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
