Summary

One little lie just became deadly…

Perfect mother. Perfect wife. Jane Goodwin has spent years building her picture-perfect life in the quiet town of Ashdon.

So when the girl next door, sixteen-year-old Clare Edwards, is found murdered, Jane knows she must first protect her family.

Every marriage has a few white lies and hers is no exception. Jane’s worked hard to cover up her dark secret from all those years ago – and she’ll do anything to keep it hidden…

Pretty boring and predictable.

Was waiting for the twist that never happened. Narration great. And an ok book to pass the time but nothing ground breaking

Wet weekend

Could have been so much more! Guessed whodunnit early on and suffered the rest. Great narration though.

A Page Turner

Kept me gripped until the end. Unravelled quite quickly towards the end but a very good page turner.

Brilliant!

This is well written, with strong characters and a gripping storyline. I’m surprised by the negative reviews. I guess some didn’t stick with it long enough for the story to develop. I loved it!

Disappointing

So far I am 7 and a half hours in and bored out of my brain. I just keep waiting and waiting for something to happen. The murderer is very predictable and the young narrators voice is very good but she’s only a small part, whereas I don’t like the other narrator as I feel she comes across very cocky and thinks she’s superior so I don’t feel sorry for the character like I think your supposed to. Very disappointed so I wouldn’t waste your money on it.

Intriguing

This book was super hard to follow - very dark at times which I struggled with but didn't see the ending that came out of it at all... A lot of twists and turns
