Keep Him Close by Emily Koch

3.0

Two mothers the son of one dead and the son of the other accused of his murder. Each mother sense there is more to it than meets the eye. Told through the perspectives of Alice and Indigo the narrative follows their search for the truth - only one mother knowing who the other is.

For me the story rumbles under the surface but fails to fully capture the rising tension, it just never really erupts onto the surface for me. I enjoyed the characterisation of both mothers but the idea of the one helping the other always felt just a bit off kilter.

I think this author has much to offer but for me this just fails to reach the mark
