I've come to the conclusion that perhaps Lucinda Berry's books are not for me. This was disturbing and sad and not much of a thriller.

The first 5 star rating I’ve given on here! I really loved this book - it was written really well, with more than one twist that I didn’t expect and thought worked very well. I’ve read a few books by this author and this is by far their best work I’ve read so far!
